Campco demands studies on arecanut through ICMR, ICAR

New shoplifting data explains why they’re locking up the toothpasteNvidia has become one of the world's most valuable companies thanks to strong demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) server chips from big tech companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. However, one tech giant that is not a major Nvidia customer is Apple, and a new report attempts to explain why this might be. The Information 's Wayne Ma today outlined Apple's historically "bumpy relationship" with Nvidia, but much of the bad blood dates to the 2000s and early 2010s, when Steve Jobs was still CEO and Macs used Nvidia graphics. It is unclear how much these past issues matter today, if at all, and the report acknowledges that Apple's current relationship with Nvidia "isn't entirely acrimonious." Two examples of the companies getting along include Apple's recent collaboration with Nvidia on machine learning research , and Nvidia showcasing the Apple Vision Pro when it announced a new software framework earlier this year. Apple has mostly rented access to Nvidia GPUs through the cloud from companies like Amazon and Microsoft, and it is reportedly developing its own AI server chip as a longer-term solution, but neither of those things prove that Apple still has an "allergy" to Nvidia as the report states. As has been the case for more than a decade, and even more so in recent years, Apple simply wants to develop as many in-house chips and technologies as possible for many reasons, including lower production costs, improved integration between hardware and software, and reduced reliance on external suppliers. So, this seems less about Apple avoiding Nvidia in particular, and more about Apple owning the whole widget in general. This trend has been playing out for many years now. In addition to Apple long designing its own iPhone chips, the company started releasing its own Mac chips in 2020, in a transition away from Intel. Apple's long-rumored 5G modem is expected to begin rolling out in iPhones next year, in a move away from its current supplier Qualcomm. Apple is also reportedly developing its own Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip , a move that will impact Broadcom. So while Steve Jobs may have once pretended an Nvidia executive was no longer in the room during a meeting, as the report states, it seems most likely that Apple simply has no need to directly purchase GPUs from Nvidia. Apple is clearly fine with renting access to the GPUs from cloud providers until its in-house chip is ready. The report is nevertheless an interesting read, and it reinforces how Jobs was very good at holding a grudge when he was unhappy with a situation.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Pep Guardiola committed himself to Manchester City for another two years on Thursday and quickly set his sights on adding to his record-breaking reign. Guardiola ended uncertainty about his future by signing a contract extension that would prolong his tenure as City manager to 11 seasons. “I have said this many times before, but I have everything a manager could ever wish for," said the 53-year-old Catalan coach, whose current deal was due to expire at the end of this season. "Hopefully now we can add more trophies to the ones we have already won. That will be my focus.” Guardiola has overseen a period of unprecedented dominance since joining City in 2016. He has gone on to win six Premier League titles in seven years at the Etihad Stadium and also won the Champions League. In total, he has won 15 major trophies at the club. He has set new benchmarks, with City becoming the first team to win four-straight English league titles and the first to amass 100 points in a single season in 2018. He also led City to the treble in 2023, winning the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in one season — matching Manchester United's achievement in 1999. “Manchester City means so much to me. This is my ninth season here. We have experienced so many amazing times together. I have a really special feeling for this football club,” Guardiola added in his statement. “That is why I am so happy to be staying for another two more seasons.” Publicly, Guardiola gave no indication about whether he would stay on even as he entered the final months of his contract. That led to speculation about potential successors, but City remained hopeful he could be convinced to sign another extension. He has already managed City for longer than any his former clubs, having spent four years at Barcelona and three at Bayern Munich. City Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said he was “delighted” that Guardiola is staying. “His hunger for improvement and success remains insatiable and the direct beneficiaries of that will continue to be our players and coaching staff, the culture of our club, and the English game at large,” he said. Story continues below video “This renewal will take Pep beyond a decade of coaching Manchester City and the opportunity to continue to re-write the managerial record books.” Guardiola's new deal comes at a time when City's Premier League dominance appears to be under threat . The four-time defending champion has lost four games in succession in all competitions — the worst losing streak of Guardiola's managerial career. Guardiola is widely considered one of the greatest managers of all time, having been a serial winner at Barcelona, Bayern and City. He has won 33 major titles with those clubs, including three Champions League trophies. His decision to stay at City also comes as the club faces a slew of alleged financial breaches . Punishment could be as extreme as expulsion from the league. City faces more than 100 charges ranging over a nine-year period when it was trying to establish itself as the biggest force in English soccer. The club denies the charges and Guardiola had said in September — when a closed-door hearing was scheduled — that he welcomed the chance to clear the club’s name. A verdict is not expected until next year. James Robson is at https://twitter.com/jamesalanrobson AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

Jaguar boss: I don’t care if Nigel Farage hates our car rebrandUCF will attempt to shake off a dreadful offensive performance when it collides with LSU on Sunday afternoon in the third-place game of the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. The Knights (4-1) couldn't get anything going against No. 19 Wisconsin on Friday, going 21-for-62 from the field (33.9 percent) and just 2-for-17 from 3-point range (11.8 percent) en route to an 86-70 loss. Jordan Ivy-Curry finished with 13 points while Keyshawn Hall and Dior Johnson added 11 apiece for UCF, which never led and fell behind by as many as 23. Knights coach Johnny Dawkins is hoping that his team's struggles don't carry over into the meeting with the Tigers (4-1). "We have to do better offensively," Dawkins said. "We have to space the floor better. We have to balance our offense between our perimeter and our bigs. Those are things that we didn't do consistently (on Friday)." LSU also needs to clean things up after committing 15 turnovers in a 74-63 setback against Pitt on Friday. Tigers forward Jalen Reed doesn't believe giving the ball away will be a lingering issue. "I feel like a lot of our turnovers were more on us than them," Reed said. "I feel like a lot of the turnovers were careless, but we're a better team than that and I feel like we'll take care of the ball better moving forward." Reed and Vyctorius Miller each posted 14 points in the loss to the Panthers, with Reed also hauling in seven rebounds. Cam Carter chipped in 11 points. Carter is putting up a team-leading 16.4 points per game. Jordan Sears (12.0 points per game), Reed (11.0) and Miller (10.2) also have scoring averages in double figures. Ivy-Curry (16.8 points per game), Hall (16.2) and Darius Johnson (13.0) have been leading the way for UCF. Sunday marks the first-ever meeting between the Knights and Tigers. --Field Level Media

Source: Legit.ngSoon after the Election Commission announced the Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly polls on October 15, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) working president and chief minister Hemant Soren and his legislator wife Kalpana Soren met Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and party leader Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi. Also Read: How did the JMM win Jharkhand? At that meeting, Hemant Soren discussed the poll strategy and seat-sharing formula for the INDIA bloc, batting for the inclusion of the CPI-ML (Liberation) in the coalition to make the contest bipolar in the two-phased assembly elections. “Our leadership agreed to the plan and decided that Hemant will have (the) final word in campaign and seat sharing. It was also decided that in some seats there would be friendly contests,” a Congress leader aware of the matter said. To accommodate three seats to the CPI-ML (Liberation), the Congress agreed to give away two seats and be in a friendly fight in one seat. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) also agreed to part with one seat and be in a friendly fight in another. The JMM contested 43 seats, same as it did in the 2019 polls, while the Congress and the RJD fielded their candidates in 30 and seven constituencies, respectively, both accepting one seat less than what they contested five years ago. “Unlike Maharashtra, there was no wrangling over seat sharing in Jharkhand and it was finalised before the nomination process started,” a senior JMM leader said. After the JMM-led INDIA bloc registered an emphatic victory in the assembly polls on Saturday, winning 56 of the state’s 81 seats, Soren told reporters in Ranchi that the alliance had set specific target and many candidates were decided before hand to start the campaign early. “All alliance partners worked in perfect coordination,” he added. Also Read: Infiltration pitch fails to help BJP in Jharkhand tribal belt The impact of the “perfect coordination” was visible in poll results, as the JMM won 34 seats, four more than it won in 2019, the Congress won 16, same as it did five years ago, the RJD won four seats, three more than in the last assembly polls and the CPI-ML won two seats. Political observers maintained that each constituent of the alliance brought something different to the table. The JMM brought in the support of tribals and OBC voters, the Congress had strong backing among the Muslim community, the RJD brought the support of the OBC Yadav and migrants from Bihar settled in North Chotanagpur Division while the CPI-ML has strong backing among workers in the state’s coal belt. “The JMM-Congress alliance performed well in consolidating their vote bank including Adivasis, Muslims, Mahtos and Yadavs,” political analyst Sudhir Pal said. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Pal stressed, failed to strike a chord with the voters as it was dependent too much on leaders from outside the state instead of locals. “The BJP seems to have failed to take full advantage of tribal leaders like Champai Soren and Sita Soren who had left the JMM and joined the saffron camp,” Pal added. Also Read: Maiya Samman scheme helps JMM surge ahead in Jharkhand elections The JMM-Congress alliance pegged its campaign on the government’s welfare schemes such as the Maiya Samman Yojana while pitching a narrative of Adivasi asmita (tribal pride). The INDIA bloc was able to project that arrest of Hemant Soren by the Enforcement Directorate in an alleged land case earlier this year was the BJP’s attack on tribal pride, prompting high turnout of tribal voters. On ground, all alliance leaders were speaking in one voice and did not speak against each other. In fact, Hemant and Kalpana Soren campaigned for their alliance partners and same was the case with local Congress and RJD leaders. “Specific duties were given to leaders of each alliance partner in each assembly constituency to ensure smooth transfer of votes,” a senior JMM leader said. Experts also said the Congress and the JMM have learnt a big lesson from the past as their tally increased when they fought in an alliance. In 2014, the JMM bagged 19 seats but its tally shot up to 30 in 2019. Similarly, the Congress’s tally increased from six seats in 2014 to 16 in 2019. The JMM and Congress contested separately in the 2014 assembly polls. “The JMM, RJD and Congress put up a united show during the campaign. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav could be seen campaigning for Congress candidate Purnima Niraj Singh in Jharia. When it came to the BJP, they not only failed to project a face of the chief minister but also failed to highlight big names such as Champai Soren outside his own assembly,” Pal added.NEW ORLEANS (AP) — One person was shot to death Thursday afternoon and three others were injured in the French Quarter, New Orleans' historic tourist district, police said. Police responded to the shooting at the intersection of Iberville and Royal streets at around 12:21 p.m. and had at least one of three suspects in custody, Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick told reporters. Kirkpatrick said at least three masked suspects were in a silver 2016 Honda Accord when they pulled up outside Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse and opened fire. “This was not random, and we could see that,” Kirkpatrick said in a media briefing at the scene. The arrested suspect's name and the expected charges have not yet been released. Kirkpatrick urged the other suspects to come forward. “We know who you are,” she said. “We're asking you to come in, turn yourself in.” At least one firearm has been recovered, she said. It’s the second shooting incident within a week in Orleans Parish. On Sunday, gunfire broke out twice as the Nine Times Social Aid & Pleasure Club’s second line parade rolled through a neighborhood, wounding 10 people, then killing two people and wounding a third 45 minutes later as the parade crossed the Almonaster bridge. “Tragically, we are faced with another mass shooting this week,” said New Orleans City Council president Helena Moreno in a statement. “This is an overall gun violence problem throughout our city and we cannot stand for it. This is not who we are and those responsible will be apprehended and fully prosecuted.” Kirkpatrick noted that in November 2023, 20 murders were recorded. Thursday's shooting brings the number to nine so far for November 2024, she said. The last shooting involving multiple people in the French Quarter happened in Nov. 2022, when five people were shot, none fatally, in the 200 block of Bourbon Street. In Nov. 2016, one person died and nine were wounded in a shooting in the 100 block of Bourbon Street shooting. Meanwhile, the two victims from Thursday's incident were listed in stable condition and a third was in surgery, Kirkpatrick said. Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse was closed at the time of the shooting. No workers were injured and the business will remain closed Thursday, spokesperson Lindsay Ross told The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate.

Justice for Samuel Luiz: Convictions in Homophobic Murder Case

After an emotional 2024 season, four-time major champion Rory McIlroy seems to be enjoying some time off. The golfer was recently spotted at the Las Vegas Grand Prix qualifying on Friday as he hung out with the Alpine F1 team. Last year, McIlroy expanded his net worth by investing in the Alpine F1 team. He would join other notable athletes such as Anthony Joshua , Patrick Mahomes , Travis Kelce , Trent Alexander-Arnold , and Juan Moto to invest in this sport. At that time, the golfer claimed he was a big fan of F1 and claimed golf could “ learn ” a bit from F1 in terms of some of the set-up stuff. At the Las Vegas Grand Prix, he was seen spending time in the Alpine garage before the race on Saturday. ️ #PHOTOS — Rory McIlroy, an @AlpineF1Team investor is in Vegas for Las Vegas Grand Prix. @TrackingRory pic.twitter.com/WnXx3Y6q4s In the qualifying race, Pierre Gasly secured third place on the grid while Esteban Ocon took 11th place. Unfortunately, they were unable to keep up the momentum on Saturday night. Gasly had to retire from the race and got a did not finish result, whereas Ocon came in 17th place. George Russell clinched the Las Vegas Grand Prix with an amazing performance while Max Verstappen claimed his fourth world title . Rory McIlroy offers first glimpse of TGL simulator ahead of inaugural 2025 season The 2025 season will be an important one for Rory McIlroy . While he will resume his chase for a fifth major championship, one of his projects will also kick-off. The TGL Golf owned by McIlroy and Tiger Woods will kick off in January next year. Ahead of this anticipated event, McIlroy offered the first glimpse of the TGL simulator. In a video shared by the Boston Common Golf, the team of McIlroy, the North Irishman could be seen describing the hole and called the pools cool. Poles are cool . Poles are really cool. So this is a hole called Quick Draw, the welling design. It’s got this canyon that sticks out. It’s about a 300-yard carry, but downhill, about seven feet, no wind right now ... Like Bo says, he says this is like a par four and a half going this way. It’s like a par five and a half going this way. It’s like 700 yards all the way around He would later try out several shots and seemed impressed with his shots and the technology. Nice fly but definitely yeah, it’s very realistic. It’s very good a sneak peek at @McIlroyRory ’s first thoughts after playing a @TGL hole this past summer TGL Performance Lab pic.twitter.com/ddRUZwMEtN McIlroy will team up with Adam Scott , Hideki Matsuyama , and Keegan Bradley in the first season of the TGL. They will take part in five regular matches with their first game being against Woods’ Jupiter Links Golf Club. The TGL was originally scheduled to take place in January 2024. However, damages to their roof last year saw the event being delayed by one year. This article first appeared on FirstSportz and was syndicated with permission.
