Sharad Pawar Admits Ladki Bahin Scheme Played Massive Role In Mahayuti's Big Win In Maharashtra

On Monday, the first shovel was turned for a new 45,000 sqm logistics building at Halvorsäng, just a stone’s throw from the Port of Gothenburg. The port and Castellum have now begun work on building a fully leased, efficient, and sustainable logistics facility through a joint venture. The tenant is the medical technology company OneMed, which plans to move in during 2026. “We look forward to welcoming OneMed to Sweden’s best logistics location and are pleased to bring another strong player into the port cluster, which also contributes additional volume over the port’s quays. It is gratifying that OneMed sees significant advantages in the distribution opportunities this location offers, and with the Port of Gothenburg and Castellum as a long-term partner,” says Göran Eriksson, CEO of the Port of Gothenburg. The Port of Gothenburg and Castellum are creating a new, modern logistics park with high sustainability ambitions and good access roads to the largest port in the Nordics, intermodal terminal, industries, and major highways to and from Gothenburg. In this new logistics park, OneMed is the first tenant to sign an agreement. “We are pleased to have found an excellent location and partner for our new, modern, and sustainable facility. This is a large and important investment for us, which will create space for our future growth and further improve our services to support Sweden’s healthcare and emergency preparedness,” says Robert Schmidt, CEO of OneMed Sweden. Representatives from Castellum, The Port of Gothenburg, and OneMed put the first shovel(s) in the ground for OneMed’s building at Halvorsäng, just north of the port. Photo: The Port of Gothenburg. The new facility, which will cover 45,000 sqm, will be built according to “Miljöbyggnad 4.0” standards and has a total contract value of close to 50 million EUR over a 12-year lease period. The planned facility will have high sustainability ambitions, including solar panels with an annual production capacity of 3 GWh. The total investment for the joint venture is over 50 million EUR. “We are very proud to offer OneMed a newly built logistics facility at Halvorsäng, one of the absolute best locations in the Nordics for logistics and distribution. The facility will be one of the largest in the region, with its 45,000 sqm, and will house both efficient warehouse spaces and attractive workplaces for OneMed’s employees in Gothenburg,” says Örjan Rystedt, CEO of Castellum Region West. Although the first formal groundbreaking took place on Monday, the initial work on the building has already begun a month ago. Blasting and work on the concrete slab that will support the load required for the part of the building designated as high storage has started. In the coming weeks, the building framework will begin to rise. All jobs are on schedule, and the building is expected to be ready for occupancy by mid-2026. In total, Castellum and the Port of Gothenburg plan to develop several buildings ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 sqm in the joint venture. Some of the buildings could be up to 35 meters high, allowing for space-efficient storage of large volumes. When the entire area is completed, the total building area will amount to approximately 145,000 sqm. Source: Port of Gothenburg

SMU feeling good heading into ACC opener against Virginian the past weeks, rumors have flown in Cuba and over social media about new state legislation that went into effect on Sept. 19 and that many feared would ban private businesses from selling digital audiovisual content. Such a ban would deal a significant blow to the “ ” or “packet,” Cuba’s robust offline system of media distribution that, since 2010, has come to constitute the main source of global entertainment on the island. Concerns about the and its future demonstrate the unique status of media piracy in Cuba. While the Cuban state widely disregards international intellectual property law, it remains wary of citizen piracy. This is because, in Cuba, to control media piracy is to control media distribution, a strategic area that the state has long reserved for itself. Following the 1959 Cuban revolution, the new government quickly nationalized key industries, including media production and distribution. The ICAIC, a national film institute entrusted with cinema production and exhibition, was founded in March 1959. By May 1961, the government had nationalized the remaining U.S. movie distribution companies on the island. Coupled with the U.S. embargo – which, since 1960, forbade the sale of most American goods to Cuba – nationalization left the island’s movie screens in a lurch. Prior to the revolution, U.S. films dominated Cuban screens, although films from Mexico and Argentina were also popular. The ICAIC responded with an exhibition strategy designed to create a “new spectator.” Small teams of film specialists traveled to markets worldwide to negotiate exhibition rights for rates far below market value. These efforts secured the best of world cinema for Cubans for a low entry fee — a single peso — and reshaped Cuban film tastes. Yet the demand for U.S. films remained strong in Cuba. After a decade in which the only U.S. films screened were those in Cuban archives, in 1970, piracy became the dominant way to circumvent the embargo. The advent of satellite television and analog Beta and VHS video exponentially increased state media piracy. While at first Cuba operated only with Intersputnik, the USSR’s international satellite communication services, by 1979, the nation had also installed the U.S.-based satellite network, Intelsat. This expanded Cuban access to U.S. film and television content. One economist recalled watching the specialists at Cuba’s satellite ground station record U.S. films in 1985. This content was then subtitled by Cuban state television and aired, often over what Cubans refer to affectionately as “la película del sábado,” or the Saturday movie. Since the early 1980s, both pirate copying of 35 mm film prints and of U.S. satellite transmissions likely functioned as sources for Omnivideo Corp., a line of analog videos that carried titles distributed by U.S. companies. The Omnivideo logo claimed the company was based out of Los Angeles, while legal warnings against unauthorized reproduction on the cassette cover and label added to its authenticity. Yet it was an open secret that Omnivideo was operated by the Ministry of Interior, i.e. the Cuban secret police. Analog video also enabled citizen media piracy for the first time. The sale of VCRs was restricted, but Cubans obtained machines through diplomats, sailors, and Cubans living abroad, especially in the U.S. Clandestine video libraries and salons cropped up to meet demands for content. The Cuban state contended that citizen video operations carried pornography and prioritized profit, which it sought to counter through police raids and its own video services. The first state video library and , and by the end of the decade, services had spread across the country. Ironically, state and citizen video piracy fueled one another. Private video library owners reported turning to Omnivideo and state video libraries for content, while state specialists used videocassettes obtained through police raids. Advances in satellite television technology exacerbated conflicts between state and citizen media piracy. In the 1990s, when the state purchased a package of satellite television channels and transmitted it from Hotel Habana Libre to surrounding hotels, technicians pirated the signal through makeshift antennas. By the end of the 1990s and the early 2000s, Cubans on the island gained access to commercial satellite companies through hacked cards or as extensions of packages paid for by U.S.-based subscribers. These illegal extensions became the source of new satellite and video infrastructure. Technicians strung cables connecting multiple households in a neighborhood to a source satellite dish. Others copied content from satellite dishes to videocassettes that furnished video libraries. The operations of video libraries also diversified. In some cases, clients rented from collections housed in garages or the front rooms of homes. To avoid attracting the attention of police, messenger services also developed in which young people walked or biked with backpacks filled with cassettes to client homes. The updated Cuba’s analog video network for a digital age. Collectives of individuals, referred to as “matrices,” access global movies, television shows, and other content through satellite transmissions, internet downloads, and social media. They then copy this content onto hard drives and circulate it across the island. Using hard drives and flash drives, the bypasses Cuba’s limited internet infrastructure. Although the internet has improved in Cuba over the past decade, downloading larger media files remains too expensive for many Cubans. Yet the key difference between this digital media infrastructure and the earlier analog era is the legal status of video libraries. As part of new efforts to decentralize the socialist economy, in 2010, the Cuban state opened licenses for small businesses, including “comprador vendedor de discos” (purchase and sale of disks). This license was taken up by vendors who used the contents of the to burn DVDs of pirated telenovelas, reality TV shows, and other content, and, in later years, shifted to copying individual files directly onto clients’ hard drives and flash drives. As pirate video vendors went from evading police to paying taxes, the flourished. The state, in turn, lost official control over media distribution for the first time since 1959. Yet many limits to citizen media piracy remain. In 2013, the state shut down private businesses that had been operating 3D cinemas, leaving exhibition under the purview of the state. Numerous state officials, including Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel, have criticized the capitalist content of the . But they also recognize that censoring the will only fuel its circulation. Cuban copyright experts, for their part, have objected to the de facto legalization of private piracy. Such objections may have been behind a 2017 decision to stop granting new disk vendor licenses. Those who already held the license were nevertheless allowed to continue operating, and new video businesses opened under licenses in related areas such as computing and printing. Significantly, it was the legal status of video libraries that many feared was under threat by the new legislation instituted on Sept. 19. There was therefore much relief when the director of Cuba's national copyright center, CENDA, explained that the regulations would only extend the ban on to digital audiovisual content, while could continue, provided vendors operated with existing licenses for disk sales and paid royalties. For others, however, these statements provoked : was the ambiguity of wording in the regulations strategic and designed to allow authorities to ban the in the future? What would happen to vendors who did not comply with copyright law as outlined by the official? For now, the state’s truce with the remains intact. But these suspicions point to ongoing uncertainty about the limits of state tolerance for citizen control over media piracy, which in Cuba, means controlling distribution.

The presence of 90 warships surrounding Taiwan has further heightened tensions in the region, with both sides on edge and preparing for any possible escalation. The sheer number of warships in the area is a clear show of force by the Chinese military, sending a message to Taiwan and the international community about their resolve and capabilities.

U.S. court tosses hostile workplace, pay discrimination claims against BlackBerry A U.S. court has closed the door on "hostile work environment” and wage discrimination claims made by a former BlackBerry Ltd. Tara Deschamps, The Canadian Press Nov 22, 2024 1:19 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message The Blackberry logo located in the front of the company's B building in Waterloo, Ont., Tuesday, May 29, 2018. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Andrew Ryan A U.S. court has closed the door on "hostile work environment” and wage discrimination claims made by a former BlackBerry Ltd. executive who accused the company's CEO of sexually harassing her and then retaliating against her when she reported the behaviour. U.S. magistrate judge Sallie Kim granted BlackBerry and John Giamatteo's request in July to turf some claims made by former chief marketing officer Neelam Sandhu but offered her a chance to amend her complaint to provide additional details supporting her allegations. Court records show Kim officially dismissed the hostile work environment and wage discrimination claims late Thursday after being unmoved by additional filings made by Sandhu's lawyers, who did not immediately respond to a request from The Canadian Press for comment. Sandhu, who spent 14 years at BlackBerry, filed a lawsuit in a California court in April under the name Jane Doe, but later forged ahead with her real name when Kim told her for the case to proceed under the pseudonym, she needed court permission. Sandhu alleged Giamatteo had "tried to get close to her" and "woo" her after he became president of the company's cybersecurity business in October 2021. She also said Giamatteo suggested the pair travel together and that at a dinner she considered a business meeting, he allegedly recounted how people mistake him for "a dirty old man" out on a date when he’s with his daughters because of how he dresses. Sandhu said she reported the behaviour to BlackBerry but then found herself excluded from meetings and heard Giamatteo had started telling staff he wanted to get her "out." Later, she said she was told she was being terminated effective immediately as part of a restructuring. Sandhu alleged her treatment constituted harassment and she said the company had fostered a “hostile” work environment where wage discrimination based on sex took place. Kim ruled that alleged instances where Giamatteo asked Sandhu whether she'd work for him so they could travel together and the comment about being out with his daughters could "put a reasonable woman ill at ease." However, she agreed with BlackBerry and Giamatteo that these alleged incidents do not constitute severe or pervasive harassment. Kim also dismissed wage discrimination allegations Sandhu made that suggested the company's presidents were paid more for doing less work than her because the judge found the facts Sandhu provided were not sufficient to plead a claim. “Because it appears that the comparators had greater responsibility than (the) plaintiff, their greater pay does not violate equal pay principles,” Kim wrote in her court order. Kim’s order dismissed the claims with prejudice, which makes the ruling conclusive and prevents it from being heard again. “We are pleased that the court has permanently dismissed all claims against Mr. Giamatteo and all harassment and pay disparity claims against BlackBerry,” Camilla Scassellati Sforzolini, a spokesperson for the company, said in a statement. “The court's ruling clearly indicates that the plaintiff failed to substantiate any of her harassment or pay discrimination claims.” While some claims in the case have been dismissed, she said Blackberry is still facing wrongful termination claims from Sandhu. Scassellati Sforzolini called those claims “baseless.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 22, 2024.

Musk and Ramaswamy's DOGE echoes past budget promises that faced big hurdles

Farmers' livelihoods will be protected with a £200 million investment to halt devastating plant and animal health threats. This will boost the ability of the UK’s leading biosecurity centre at Weybridge to defend the nation against animal diseases. Labour claims the laboratories were in such poor condition they could have been lost by 2032. The cash injection is intended to ensure the UK continues to have “world-leading scientific and veterinary capability”. Farmers are on guard against avian influenza and the bluetongue virus, which can kill cattle and sheep. The influenza outbreak led to the deaths of 3.8 million birds between 2021-23, and specialists and vets are “working around the clock” to identify livestock infected with bluetongue and help farmers cope. Environment Secretary Steve Reed said: “This Government commitment to our farmers remains steadfast and contributes to our mission to deliver growth across the UK. “The labs at Weybridge were in serious disrepair putting our ability to support farmers manage disease at risk. “That is why we are investing £200 million to upgrade these facilities to protect Britain’s farmers from animal disease outbreaks.” “The Government plans to invest £5 billion in nature-friendly farming over the next two years”. It claims this is “the largest amount ever directed towards sustainable food production in our country’s history”. The economy's exports of livestock, meat, dairy, and related products are worth £ 16 billion a year. The Weybridge upgrade is hoped to bolster Britain’s reputation as a “safe trading partner.”

The university administration also stated that they would be conducting a thorough review of the food stalls in the canteen to ensure that they are operating in compliance with regulations and are meeting the needs of the student population. They promised to take appropriate action to address any issues of price gouging or unfair practices that may arise.

The FTC's investigation into Epic's actions began after numerous complaints were filed by parents and advocacy groups regarding the company's marketing strategies. It was revealed that Epic had been specifically targeting children and adolescents through its advertising campaigns, enticing them to make in-game purchases without clearly disclosing the costs involved. This lack of transparency not only misled consumers but also violated the FTC Act, which prohibits deceptive advertising practices.

Appointed following the sacking of Erik ten Hag in late October, the Portuguese tactician officially started work as United’s head coach on November 11, 2024 and has overseen four games across all competitions since. His debut game in the dugout ended in a 1-1 draw away at Ipswich Town which was followed up by back-to-back home wins over Bodo/Glimt - in the Europa League - and the 4-0 thrashing of Everton . More recently though, Amorim tasted defeat for the first time as Man United boss as his side were beaten 2-0 by Arsenal on Wednesday night . What was interesting about the game in North London, certainly before kick-off was the visitors’ starting line-up as Amorim continued his theme of heavy squad rotation as he looks to manage his players' workloads and hand minutes to those who have recently returned from injury. And after plenty of experimenting, the 39-year-old has revealed he is getting closer to knowing the ideal line-up for his 3-4-2-1 system. "More or less [I am close to knowing my best line-up], yes," he told reporters. "You have an idea, but then you have the problem of players returning without training and then you have to manage the load. So you also have the same problem. "But then you have to imagine and understand what kind of player you have. Bruno Fernandes, you feel it, against Arsenal, in the end, he was a little bit tired, but you know he is going to recover very well. “Manuel Ugarte, I've known for so long; I know that he needs sometimes a little bit more time. "So we are in that process, to know the players and trying to manage that, but we're getting closer to an idea, yes." Plenty of eyes will be on Amorim’s team selection for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest especially with Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo available again after suspension .Baramati Maharashtra Assembly Election Results 2024: Baramati, a prominent seat in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, is in the spotlight as all eyes turn to this crucial battleground. This time, the contest has taken an interesting turn with a face-off between two prominent Pawar family members. The experienced Ajit Pawar from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is up against Yugendra Pawar , who is backed by a combination of NCP and the Samajwadi Party (SP). However, this election is not just about Baramati; it holds wider implications for Maharashtra’s political future, especially in the western region. Baramati's key role in 2024 Maharashtra elections The stakes are high in Baramati, as it has become more than a local contest. The rivalry between Ajit Pawar and his uncle, Sharad Pawar, has given the election an added dimension. Ajit Pawar, after splitting from the NCP in 2022, aligned his faction with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and joined the ruling government. Despite his repeated victories, having won the Baramati seat seven times, the shift in allegiance has not been well received by traditional voters, as reflected in the results of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. His faction’s performance was underwhelming, whereas Sharad Pawar 's faction secured eight out of the ten seats in the same elections. Ajit Pawar's allegiance to BJP and its impact The Baramati seat became the battleground for the first-ever "Pawar vs Pawar" showdown when Sharad Pawar’s daughter, Supriya Sule, triumphed over Ajit Pawar’s wife, Sunetra Pawar. The shift in loyalties has added a layer of intrigue to the upcoming assembly polls, as voters in the region seem to be leaning slightly toward Sharad Pawar’s influence. Sharad Pawar's stronghold in Western Maharashtra Western Maharashtra, with its significant sugarcane-producing districts like Sangli, Satara, Kolhapur, and Pune, has long been a stronghold of Sharad Pawar. His influence in these areas, dating back to when he founded the NCP, has given him an edge in the political landscape. As the Baramati elections unfold, the results here could mark a significant shift in the region’s political dynamics, potentially reshaping the future of Maharashtra’s governance.
