Thirteen individuals, including two women, from the Banaras Hindu University (BHU), were sent to jail for organising an event that critiqued and allegedly tried to burn a copy of Manusmriti on the university campus. On December 25, the students conducted the event at the arts faculty intersection on the BHU campus to commemorate Dr BR Ambedkar’s historic burning of the Manusmriti on the same date in 1927. However, they were promptly stopped by the university security personnel leading to an altercation and eventual police detention. According to the police, the BHU security guards in their complaint alleged that the students attacked them, vandalised properties and obstructed official duties. On the other hand, eyewitness accounts state that it was the security guards who misbehaved with the students, dragged and manhandled them; injuring many. The students were later detained in the university’s proctorial board office, Maktoob Media reported. Police imposed serious charges, including non-bailable section 132 (assault on a government servant) , 121(2) (causing grievous hurt to a government servant) , 196(1)(b) (disturbing public harmony) , 299 (insulting religion) , 110 (attempt to culpable homicide) , 191(1) (rioting) , and 115(2) (causing intentional hurt) . Apart from BHU students, the arrested also included alumni and activists of a left-wing student organisation Bhagat Singh Morcha (BSM). On December 26, they were produced before the court and sent to 14 days of judicial custody.

CHICAGO, Dec. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Technip Energies (PARIS:TE) and LanzaTech Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNZA) (“LanzaTech”) announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) has committed up to $200 million in federal funding and authorized the initiation of Phase 1 of their Sustainable Ethylene from CO 2 Utilization with Renewable Energy Project (Project SECURE). Project SECURE, led by Technip Energies in partnership with LanzaTech, aims to provide an integrated commercial process which takes captured carbon dioxide from ethylene production and recycles it with low carbon intensity hydrogen to create sustainable ethanol and ethylene. This joint technology solution is intended to first be deployed in the U.S. Gulf Coast region for integration directly into an existing commercial ethylene cracker and has significant replication potential for ethylene crackers worldwide. Globally, there are approximately 370 ethylene steam crackers, over 40 percent of which use Technip Energies’ technology, including eight in the US. LanzaTech’s carbon recycling technology, which has benefited from previous DOE support, can also be utilized in any industry with waste carbon, allowing other sectors to profit from capturing and recycling carbon-rich emissions into valuable ethanol, instead of sequestering or releasing them into the atmosphere. OCED has committed up to $200 million throughout the project duration to Project SECURE to fund the design, engineering, construction, and equipment for the commercial-scale integrated technology unit. Today’s announcement represents the award of nearly $20 million for the first of four phases to be funded by OCED over the course of the project. During Phase 1 of the project, Technip Energies and LanzaTech will conduct a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study, develop project plans, provide documentation and reports necessary to complete the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review, and engage with local community and labor stakeholders. Arnaud Pieton, CEO at Technip Energies, stated “ We are pleased to receive the Phase 1 award from the OCED and begin the engineering design work to progress the development of this innovative technology. The global population is expected to continue to rise by 2050, bringing with it a greater demand for consumer goods that rely on ethylene. While addressing this growing demand, we absolutely need to decarbonize ethylene production. We not only need to do something about carbon but very importantly with carbon. That is what our partnership with LanzaTech on this technology is all about. Leveraging our long-lasting leadership in ethylene, we are committed, together with LanzaTech, to develop this technology at scale and continue to explore ways to decarbonize ethylene production.” Dr. Jennifer Holmgren, Chair and CEO of LanzaTech stated, “ We are thrilled to reach this milestone and commence work on this important project. Ethylene is a key building block for thousands of chemicals and materials, and is often referred to as the world’s most important chemical. Our project not only increases the efficiency and value of existing ethylene production infrastructure, but also creates high-quality jobs and supports local communities . Circularizing our global carbon economy requires combining ambition with action, and we are grateful for the shared vision and support of the OCED to advance this replicable technology, strengthening our domestic manufacturing base for valuable commodities .” OCED’s mission is to deliver clean energy demonstration projects at scale in partnership with the private sector to accelerate deployment, market adoption, and the equitable transition to a decarbonized system. OCED will provide oversight of the project by evaluating the status and quality of implementation at each phase of the project. Through its phased approach to project management oversight, OCED will review and evaluate the project’s progress, including community benefits, which impact OCED’s decision to continue to provide federal funding and allow a project to progress to the following phase.

Regional restrictions may apply.) Ticket Cost: $12.00 The Jazz will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will host the Dallas Mavericks at 9:30 p.m. ET at Delta Center. The Jazz might want some stickum for this one as the team gave up 18 turnovers on Wednesday. The Jazz are headed into the match having just suffered their biggest loss since November 7th on Wednesday. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of a 122-103 punch to the gut against the Nuggets. Utah got off to an early lead (up 12 with 5:48 left in the first quarter), but sadly they weren't able to maintain that momentum. Despite the defeat, the Jazz had strong showings from Walker Kessler, who dropped a double-double on 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Collin Sexton, who went 9 for 16 en route to 26 points. The dominant performance also gave Kessler a new career-high in assists (five). Even though they lost, the Jazz smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 21 offensive rebounds. That's the most offensive rebounds they've managed all season. Meanwhile, the Mavericks won against the Hawks on Monday with 129 points and they decided to stick to that point total again on Wednesday. The Mavericks strolled past the Knicks with points to spare, taking the game 129-114. Dallas pushed the score to 90-71 by the end of the third, a deficit New York cut but never quite recovered from. The Mavericks' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Spencer Dinwiddie led the charge by almost dropping a double-double on 21 points and nine assists. Utah has not been sharp recently as the team has lost six of their last seven matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-14 record this season. As for Dallas, their win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-8. The Jazz skirted past the Mavericks 115-113 when the teams last played on November 14th.

Insurgents seize key parts of Aleppo as Syrian government troops redeployOnce the final presents are unwrapped and the last holiday cookie crumbs vacuumed up, our attention shifts toward the new year and the infinite possibilities it represents. Maybe 2025 will be the year you finally take that dream vacation (seems unlikely) or get that raise you’ve been gunning for at work (not a chance). But before our eyes widen with ambition at the prospect of the new year’s fresh start, this quiet period before the calendar flips offers a time for deep personal reflection; a taking stock of life’s seasons and how we engage with the world and the people we love. Since that sounds kind of scary, I’ve instead devoted what limited mental bandwidth I have left to reflect on the past year in local music. Some cool stuff happened. We lost some really good people. And there are reasons to believe that the future is looking bright. By virtue (at least in part) of a few pop stars slipping into some Wranglers, 2024 was deemed a banner year for country music and Washington wasn’t left out in the rain, starting this spring when the Seattle area went from having just one country radio station to three literally overnight . When most people think of music from America’s upper left, country is not atop their minds. Yet, several country wave-makers emerged out of Washington this year, including Sunnyside’s Zach Top and the Kalama kid Tucker Wetmore . Now based in Nashville, the two breakout stars hail from different ends of the country spectrum. A reformed bluegrasser, Top’s '90s flavor strikes a throwback chord (which there’s clearly an appetite for), while Wetmore’s more of a pop-smart shape-shifter working with a contemporary palette. While each made their mark nationally, back in the 360, Snohomish rapper-turned-country-singer Antwane Tyler scored a legitimate regional hit — a woefully rare feat these days outside of KEXP’s rotation — with “Homesick,” an infectious modern country bop with electronic drums. At the start of 2024, who’d have predicted that the Washington song of the year would be a newfangled country ditty? Seattle clubs may not have experienced a country takeover to the degree that the Billboard charts did in 2024. But it was arguably the year of the underplay, with a number of big-time music stars taking the stage in comparably small Seattle venues given their stature. There was LCD Soundsystem’s four-night run at the Paramount Theatre, where an intimately folky Shawn Mendes held court on an acoustic tour of areas where he recorded his latest album. (The Canadian pop star cut some of the new stuff at Bear Creek in Woodinville.) In October, some zealous music writer , high off the smoke emanating from Jack White’s guitar, proclaimed the White Stripes co-founder’s incendiary Showbox date the show of the year, only for the Soundgarden guys to reunite on that hallowed stage for a charity gig two months later. Joined by vocal dynamo Shaina Shepherd — who delivered the performance of her career — and (for a couple songs) Duff McKagan, the Seattle rock heroes threw down in old-school, ultraheavy fashion to help support local families dealing with unfathomable medical expenses for their kids. While we’re on the hometown tip, let’s not forget when Robin Pecknold packed the pews at “dream venue” Town Hall, playing the coziest solo set with a bunch of Fleet Foxes rarities and charmed folk covers. Of course, the granddaddy of Seattle homecomings came when Pearl Jam’s Dark Matter Tour touched down in the band’s backyard this May. Armed with a sterling new album that netted the band its first Grammy nominations in 14 years , Eddie and the boys made their long-awaited Climate Pledge Arena debut , outfitted with some new-look visuals by Washington artist Rob Sheridan. During the two inspiring shows, the palatial arena had literally never sounded better. It’s always an event when the PJ machine is reactivated and “Dark Matter” — its in-the-moment recording sessions shepherded by young, hotshot producer Andrew Watt — is one of the best-received albums of the band’s later years. In many respects, running a music venue focused on presenting local artists has arguably never been more financially challenging. Between post-pandemic habits, reduced alcohol consumption and the rising costs of everything, the economic formula could use some adjustment. All that considered, it’s a welcome sign that Seattle saw more venue openings than closings this year. We’ll pour one out for all-ages favorite Cafe Racer, which packed up its Capitol Hill space for good in June, while having an NYE toast to Pioneer Square newcomers Baba Yaga and nonprofit jazz spot Seattle Jazz Fellowship . Meanwhile, Hillman City’s highly anticipated Black & Tan Hall — a cooperatively owned community performance space and restaurant — has steadily ramped up activity throughout the year, recently adding regular bar and restaurant hours. Across town, employees of singer-songwriter haven Conor Byrne staved off a closing threat , reopening the cozy pub as a co-op. The resiliency and push for alternative models offers proof that Seattle’s artistic spirit won’t be stamped out by the unforgiving forces of capitalism. Amid a remarkably crowded field of newcomer pop stars, Washington’s Benson Boone made one of the biggest songs of the year with “Beautiful Things,” a rafter-reaching pop rocker that was truly inescapable. With equally impressive vocal range and abdominal strength, the former Monroe High School diving team standout has made quite the splash since dropping out of “American Idol” to chase a music career outside of reality TV, eventually signing with Imagine Dragons singer Dan Reynolds’ imprint. It has clearly paid off for the 22-year-old singer-songwriter, who’s up for best new artist at next year’s Grammys, making Boone the first local nominated for the prestigious award since Macklemore & Ryan Lewis in 2014. Still, the fact that it was Boone’s only nomination was kind of a snub for one of pop’s biggest breakouts this year. Nary a year passes without us losing essential figures who have made great contributions to the community. 2024 was no different with the passing of Quincy Jones — a true giant among giants in the entertainment industry — and renowned journalists Charles R. Cross and former Seattle Times critic Patrick MacDonald . While the individual losses are profound, collectively it’s a testament to the depth and richness of the Seattle music heritage, and a reminder that ultimately, it’s about the people who cherish it, drive it and continue its legacy. Though I’d long admired his work, I didn’t know Cross well. We exchanged occasional emails and had an overdue hangout when he accompanied me to one of Eddie Vedder’s Benaroya Hall concerts last year. But since his death, whenever I’ve found myself in the middle of a crowded venue for an event that’s coursing with that Seattle spirit, I can’t help but think to myself, “Charley would have loved this.” I look forward to having more of those moments in 2025.
