no way out the roulette episodes In a bid to plug leakages in the subsidies provided to the farmers, the Maharashtra government has set a target to register all farmers under Agri Stack, which will provide a farmer Digital ID with a unique number. This will help the government to provide subsidies to the genuine and intended beneficiaries in a time bound manner. The Agriculture department of the state has set a deadline to provide Digital ID to 1.19 crore farmers in the next 100 days. Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has instructed the agriculture department to expedite the process of providing digital IDs to farmers. The Agri Stack is an initiative of the government of India. It aims to help the farmers to get easier access to cheaper credit, high-quality farm inputs, localised and specific advice, which help to improve the agriculture sector in the country and enable better outcomes. The CM chaired a meeting with senior officials including state chief secretary Sujata Saunik and agriculture department secretary Jayshree Bhoj in connection with the government’s 100-days plan and flagship schemes. A senior official, who attended this meeting, told this newspaper that there are 1.19 crore farmers including 97 lakh PM Kisan beneficiaries across the state. “To expedite the process of giving digital ID to the farmers, the CM has instructed the department to take help of agriculture assistants, gram sevaks, and talathi (village accountant). He has also asked the finance department to positively consider remuneration demands raised by them for this work,” the senior official said. In the meeting, Mr. Fadnavis also instructed the agriculture department to coordinate with the Information Technology (IT) Department and Settlement Commissioner to complete the work in the stipulated period. An official from the Agriculture department said they are going to organise a camp to enroll the farmers under the Agri Stack. “We have instructed all the district collectors to hold a camp of two to three days in those villages, which have internet connectivity. A peasant’s name and farm land belonging to him will be linked with his Aadhar number in the camp,” the official said. The official also said that the digital ID will have the name of the farmer along with a unique number. This unique number will create a digital account for the farmer, which will have the records of the land belonging to him, Geo-referencing of the land and crop survey report. “Once we have all the records of the farmers, we will get an idea how much fertilisers and seeds are needed for a particular farmer. This will help us to plug the leakages into the system. At present, we don’t know how much fertilisers and seeds are being provided to a particular farmer,” the official added. According to the officials, the Agri Stack initiative would make it easier for the government to plan and implement various farm related schemes. The government has already done the enrollment of the farmers in 362 villages on the pilot basis project.Manchester City and Chelsea Set to Earn £60 Million from Club World Cup, Reports Say

Earning a college degree may seem improbable for non-traditional students. County Executive David Crowley faced that challenge and overcame it. He will graduate from UW-Milwaukee next month. In an exclusive Light House Report, Chief Political Reporter Charles Benson talks with the Milwaukee leader about his long journey from dropping out to getting a college degree. It's been a long journey for David Crowley. “When I first attended this is not what it looked like.” Nearly 20 years after first stepping onto the UWM campus, County Executive Crowley is about to graduate with a degree in Community Engagement and Education. Multiple reasons motivated him to give it another try, but three stood out. “Being a father having three girls, I wanted to have something tangible to show them why an education really matters," said Crowley. "So, I've been back full time, for the past three semesters, back for about six semesters total, but it's been a great experience coming back.” And a comeback story. Crowley admits he was not an academic achievement the first time around. But through the years he found success as a legislative staffer and a state lawmaker. In 2020, he became Milwaukee County's youngest elected executive and the first Black leader in that job. "Did you feel like you had not achieved something because you did not have a college degree?" Charles asks. "When you're 33 years old, first African American to become the county executive, there's no way that you can come into the sea without feeling a little bit of imposter syndrome," Crowley responded. "It felt like I needed to get this. I will tell you it was, it was a light switch that went off in my head, whereas I began to continue with schooling, realizing that I do belong here, and it has actually increased my confidence." It was not an easy multi-tasking adjustment for the now 38-year-old non-traditional student. He attended morning or evening classes all while running the state's biggest county with a billion-dollar plus budget. "Were there a few double takes?" Charles asks. "I remember one of the first classes I had to take on campus was my public speaking class, and honestly, I learned a little bit more about myself taking that class," Crowley responds. "I gave the first speech, and everybody was like, is that how we are supposed to sound?" County Executive Crowley will have to put those public speaking skills to use one more time because the graduating student won't be able to just sit back and enjoy the ceremony, he has been asked to give the commencement speech. “It's a great honor. It is an opportunity that I'm going to take advantage of.” The university describes it as an "extremely rare" occurrence for a graduating student to give a commencement speech. The County Executive sees it as an opportunity. “I want to speak to the experience of not just being a student for our young people, but also, you know, as the county executive, being in leadership positions and what many of our students should be preparing themselves for if they want to hold leadership positions like being county executive.” The non-traditional student leader leads the way for the next generation.

Report a typo or errorA court challenge over a Stormont vote on extending post-Brexit trading arrangements for Northern Ireland has been dismissed, and the Assembly debate will go ahead as planned on Tuesday. Ruling on Monday after an emergency hearing at Belfast High Court, judge Mr Justice McAlinden rejected loyalist activist Jamie Bryson’s application for leave for a full judicial review hearing against Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn. The judge said Mr Bryson, who represented himself as a personal litigant, had “very ably argued” his case with “perseverance and cogency”, and had raised some issues of law that caused him “some concern”. However, he found against him on the three grounds of challenge against Mr Benn. Mr Bryson had initially asked the court to grant interim relief in his challenge to prevent Tuesday’s democratic consent motion being heard in the Assembly, pending the hearing of a full judicial review. However, he abandoned that element of his leave application during proceedings on Monday, after the judge made clear he would be “very reluctant” to do anything that would be “trespassing into the realms” of a democratically elected Assembly. Mr Bryson had challenged Mr Benn’s move to initiate the democratic consent process that is required under the UK and EU’s Windsor Framework deal to extend the trading arrangements that apply to Northern Ireland. The previously stated voting intentions of the main parties suggest that Stormont MLAs will vote to continue the measures for another four years when they convene to debate the motion on Tuesday. After the ruling, Mr Bryson told the court he intended to appeal to the Court of Appeal. Any hearing was not expected to come later on Monday. In applying for leave, the activist’s argument was founded on three key grounds. The first was the assertion that Mr Benn failed to make sufficient efforts to ensure Stormont’s leaders undertook a public consultation exercise in Northern Ireland before the consent vote. The second was that the Secretary of State allegedly failed to demonstrate he had paid special regard to protecting Northern Ireland’s place in the UK customs territory in triggering the vote. The third ground centred on law changes introduced by the previous UK government earlier this year, as part of its Safeguarding the Union deal to restore powersharing at Stormont. He claimed that if the amendments achieved their purpose, namely, to safeguard Northern Ireland’s place within the United Kingdom, then it would be unlawful to renew and extend post-Brexit trading arrangements that have created economic barriers between the region and the rest of the UK. In 2023, the UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the trading arrangements for Northern Ireland are lawful. The appellants in the case argued that legislation passed at Westminster to give effect to the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement conflicted with the 1800 Acts of Union that formed the United Kingdom, particularly article six of that statute guaranteeing unfettered trade within the UK. The Supreme Court found that while article six of the Acts of Union has been “modified” by the arrangements, that was done with the express will of a sovereign parliament, and so therefore was lawful. Mr Bryson contended that amendments made to the Withdrawal Agreement earlier this year, as part of the Safeguarding the Union measures proposed by the Government to convince the DUP to return to powersharing, purport to reassert and reinforce Northern Ireland’s constitutional status in light of the Supreme Court judgment. He told the court that it was “quite clear” there was “inconsistency” between the different legal provisions. “That inconsistency has to be resolved – there is an arguable case,” he told the judge. However, Dr Tony McGleenan KC, representing the Government, described Mr Bryson’s argument as “hopeless” and “not even arguable”. He said all three limbs of the case had “no prospect of success and serve no utility”. He added: “This is a political argument masquerading as a point of constitutional law and the court should see that for what it is.” After rising to consider the arguments, Justice McAlinden delivered his ruling shortly after 7pm. The judge dismissed the application on the first ground around the lack consultation, noting that such an exercise was not a “mandatory” obligation on Mr Benn. On the second ground, he said there were “very clear” indications that the Secretary of State had paid special regard to the customs territory issues. On the final ground, Justice McAlinden found there was no inconsistency with the recent legislative amendments and the position stated in the Supreme Court judgment. “I don’t think any such inconsistency exists,” he said. He said the amendments were simply a “restatement” of the position as set out by the Supreme Court judgment, and only served to confirm that replacing the Northern Ireland Protocol with the Windsor Framework had not changed the constitutional fact that Article Six of the Acts of Union had been lawfully “modified” by post-Brexit trading arrangements. “It does no more than that,” he said. The framework, and its predecessor the NI Protocol, require checks and customs paperwork on goods moving from Great Britain into Northern Ireland. Under the arrangements, which were designed to ensure no hardening of the Irish land border post-Brexit, Northern Ireland continues to follow many EU trade and customs rules. This has proved highly controversial, with unionists arguing the system threatens Northern Ireland’s place in the United Kingdom. Advocates of the arrangements say they help insulate the region from negative economic consequences of Brexit. A dispute over the so-called Irish Sea border led to the collapse of the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2022, when the DUP withdrew then-first minister Paul Givan from the coalition executive. The impasse lasted two years and ended in January when the Government published its Safeguarding the Union measures. Under the terms of the framework, a Stormont vote must be held on articles five to 10 of the Windsor Framework, which underpin the EU trade laws in force in Northern Ireland, before they expire. The vote must take place before December 17. Based on the numbers in the Assembly, MLAs are expected to back the continuation of the measures for another four years, even though unionists are likely to oppose the move. DUP leader Gavin Robinson has already made clear his party will be voting against continuing the operation of the Windsor Framework. Unlike other votes on contentious issues at Stormont, the motion does not require cross-community support to pass. If it is voted through with a simple majority, the arrangements are extended for four years. In that event, the Government is obliged to hold an independent review of how the framework is working. If it wins cross-community support, which is a majority of unionists and a majority of nationalists, then it is extended for eight years. The chances of it securing such cross-community backing are highly unlikely.

With matching double degrees in mechatronics and engineering, the 25-year-olds turn heads as they help design and build the Scitech Discovery Centre displays that engage minds young and old in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Ashley and Morgan will speak to the design, mechanics and history of the race car, and will offer personal insights into the life of an ECU student engineer and a woman in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine fields. Credit: Scitech Earlier in 2024 they were part of a student racing team that took first place against 55 countries at Europe’s most established educational engineering competition – Formula Student. Back on home soil, the pair dived right back into promoting WA science. Morgan, a software engineer, and Ashley, an electrical engineer, are now inspiring the next generation of thinkers with talks on their winning design now running weekly during the school holidays at Scitech. “Our parents really encouraged us both in not just maths and science, but also other pursuits like arts, gymnastics, dancing and music,” Ashley said. “That definitely led to a well-rounded understanding that STEM is a part of so many different things.” Weighing in at a feather-light 164 kilograms, the custom-built Wilson Resolute race car can reach 100km/h in under four seconds. Its innovative rear suspension system, coupled with an efficient aerodynamics package and lightweight composite construction means the vehicle is especially nimble. Morgan designed and built the car’s steering wheel from scratch. More than purely building the car, the team has to incorporate design, marketing and budgeting skills into the project. “It’s a massive undertaking, it’s a holistic view of what it would be like to work in an engineering job,” Morgan said. “It’s not just necessarily getting to design cool things, it’s also about how can I work this all together to finish this project on time and on budget?” The budget for the build was $30,000, but the girls estimate the true cost if it included labour time would have amounted to more than $1 million. After three years of studying, working part-time and taking on Formula Student as extracurricular, they’re both now eager to dedicate time-sharing their knowledge and passion for women in science, following in the footsteps of their role model, distinguished neuroscientist and 2015 West Australian of the Year, Lyn Beazley. Ashley (left) and Morgan Ure are paving the way for young engineers. Credit: Scitech “There’s definitely been growth in the amount of women getting into engineering, but it’s not as fast as some industries would have hoped, but you do get to meet a few people that are very much like you and have that same sort of drive as you,” Morgan said. “Even though you may not see quite as many women in engineering, there’s absolutely no barriers and everyone that we’ve met through university and Scitech has been really supportive,” Ashley followed. Currently, Morgan is designing and building a radio astronomy exhibit that will feature in Scitech’s new gallery titled Here, There and Everywhere . Ashley is also working on a display in the exhibition called virus box, a visual and physical representation of how a virus spreads within a community. “What I love about the exhibits that we get to make is seeing them put out on the floor and somebody interacting with them,” Morgan said. “It’s just really incredible, it’s not only satisfying to see the thing that you’ve been making working, it’s seeing somebody else visit and enjoying it and learning something from it.” “It’s just a really good feeling.” The month-long collaboration between ECU and Scitech to display the race car will include interactive talks from Ashley and Morgan. They will speak to the design, mechanics and history of the race car, and will offer personal insights into the life of an ECU student engineer and a woman in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine fields.
