188 sb bet365 288 As science continues its evolution, discoveries and technologies can act like a master key that open doors leading to novel advancements. Artificial intelligence is one such key, making innovations possible by solving complex problems, automating tasks and enabling research that would have been impossible, or very time-consuming, without it. Mohammad Hosseini But do we want to do research on all topics, and shall we try the AI master key on every door? To explore this question, let’s consider the use of AI by genomics experts as an example. In recent years, genomics experts have added unbelievable depth to what we know about the world and ourselves. For example, genetics researchers have revealed facts about when certain animals and plants were domesticated. In another example, researchers used DNA from 30,000-year-old permafrost to create fertile samples of a plant called narrow-leafed campion. Importantly, genetic engineering has facilitated extraordinary advances in the treatment of complicated conditions, such as sickle-cell anemia. Thanks to AI, we are witnessing a dramatic increase in the pace and scalability of genomic exploration. But given the risks and possible consequences of AI use in science, should we rush headlong into using AI in all kinds of projects? One relevant example is research on Neanderthals, our closest relatives, who lived about 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals have been studied for several years now through genetic investigation of their fossils and their DNA. Genetic engineering can potentially use ancient DNA and genome editing methods to re-create a Neanderthal or aspects of a Neanderthal’s genetics and physiology. To do this, scientists could start by figuring out the DNA sequence of a Neanderthal by comparing it with the DNA of modern humans, because they are closely related. Then, scientists could use the gene-editing tool known as CRISPR to swap out parts of human DNA with Neanderthal DNA. This process would require a lot of trial and error and might not succeed soon. But based on what we know about genetics, if something is possible, AI can help make it happen faster, cheaper and with less effort. Scientists are excited about these developments because they could facilitate new discoveries and open up many research opportunities in genetic research. With or without AI, research on Neanderthals will proceed. But the extraordinary power of AI could give the final push to these discoveries and facilitate this kind of resurrection. At that point, the scientific community must develop norms and guidelines about how to treat these resurrected beings with dispositions very similar to humans. We would need to carefully consider their rights and well-being almost in the same way as when humans are involved and not as research subjects or artifacts of scientific curiosity. These ethical issues are discussed in more detail in a new paper published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. A more holistic question to consider is: Should we prioritize the use of resource-intensive AI, researchers’ time and public funds to resurrect extinct beings? Or should we invest these resources into conserving species that are critically endangered today to prevent biodiversity from more degradation?

Such a move should not surprise anyone. During the recent U.S. election campaign, Trump repeatedly said “tariff” was his favourite word in the dictionary. In fact, protectionism has been a central feature of Trump’s outlook since long before he first ran for office. More than 40 years ago, when he was nothing more than a real estate mogul, Trump was decrying the fact that major trading partners such as Japan were “taking advantage” of the U.S. The phrase “taking advantage” is one of the president-elect’s favourite rhetorical tropes. He frequently uses it, for instance, to castigate NATO member countries, Canada among them, who do not spend the requisite two per cent of GDP on their military. Needed for non-economic reasons As for Trump’s most recent rattling of the tariff sabre, it is noteworthy that he does not cite as justification the harm imports from the targeted countries cause to U.S. industry. Trump’s stated motives are not economic. He does not cite protecting U.S. jobs as a reason for new and punishing levies on imports from Mexico, China and Canada. Rather, the soon-to-be president says he will impose a 25 per cent tariff on goods from his two North American partners, and 10 per cent in addition to the current tariff on goods from China, because of – wait for it – fentanyl and the flow of what Trump calls “illegal” migrants. What do illegal drugs and desperate people seeking a safe haven have to do with refrigerators from China, strawberries from Mexico, and auto parts from Canada? If you answered “nothing”, you’re right. The reason Trump cites these unconnected phenomena as justification for new protectionist measures is that U.S. presidents do not have unlimited authority to impose tariffs at their whim. Constitutionally, tariffs fall within the purview of the U.S. legislative branch, Congress. The president can only unilaterally impose new tariffs in wartime or for national security reasons. The wartime power goes back to a 1917 law passed during World War I. The national security provision only came about in 1974, in a new trade act Congress passed during Richard Nixon’s presidency. The 1974 act gives presidents the power to impose tariffs of up to 15 per cent, for a limited time period, 150 days, if they deem imports have a negative impact on U.S. “national security.” There is no law giving the president the right to impose 25 per cent tariffs for an unlimited time period. In 2018, when Trump imposed tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum (including those from Canada), it was for notional national security reasons – and only for the prescribed limited period. Those tariffs did not even last the full 150 days. The U.S. business community was as opposed to them as were Canada and other U.S. trading partners. All we know of Trump’s intentions this time is what we can glean from two brief posts on his own social media platform, Truth Social. Both are infused with his customary over-charged rhetoric and haphazard use of the upper case. One post focuses on China. The other targets the two North American countries with which Trump himself negotiated a trade agreement to supplant the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). They called that new deal the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Now, Trump blithely threatens to ignore his own signature and break U.S. law to boot. His Truth Social post does not mention a time limit for tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods. It only says the new 25 per cent levies would remain in effect until such time as the flow of drugs, especially fentanyl, and of so-called illegal aliens into the U.S. stops. Unprecedented use of president’s emergency powers Trump has not, to this point, shown much concern for what is legal or constitutional – whether in his personal, business or political affairs. But if he and his advisors were to seek some legal justification for tariffs in excess of 15 per cent and without a time limit, they might cite a more recent law than the 1974 trade act, the U.S.’s International Economic Emergency Act (IEEA) of 1977. Doing so might be difficult for the Trump gang, however, because the IEEA does not even mention the word tariff. The 1977 act gives the U.S. president power to declare there exists an “unusual and extraordinary threat... to the national security ... or economy of the United States” which originates “outside the United States.” Having made that determination, the president then has the right to regulate international commerce. Those powers are broad and sweeping. However, no president has ever used them as a pretext for tariffs. As well, the IEEA’s emergency powers are, like those of the 1974 trade act, time-limited. A prior law, the National Emergencies Act, provides that a presidential declaration of emergency will only remain valid for one year, after which it must be renewed. All of that legal stuff is not front and centre for the Canadian government right now. When asked about Trump’s tariff threat, Justice Minister Arif Virani said: “I’m going to rely upon my economic colleagues to address that. I think we’ll continue to work diligently to make sure that the relationship is functioning well and we’ve got a Canada-US Action Committee of Cabinet.” But what about the USMCA and U.S. law? Is the minister preparing any legal challenges to what would clearly be illegal tariffs, on at least two counts? The justice minister’s terse and non-committal answer was, “I’m not going to speculate.” One reason bullies get away with being bullies is that their victims, as well as bystanders and witnesses, scrupulously respect rules and norms for which bullies only have undisguised contempt.

MILAN — Shoppers laden with bags from Fendi, Loewe, Prada and other designer labels clog the narrow sidewalks of Milan's swankiest shopping street, bringing joy to the purveyors of high-end luxury goods this, and every, holiday season. There's even more to celebrate this year: a commercial real estate company crowned Via MonteNapoleone as the world's most expensive retail destination, displacing New York's Fifth Avenue. The latest version of American firm Cushman & Wakefield's annual global index, which ranks shopping areas based on the rent prices they command, is a sign of Via MonteNapoleone's desirability as an address for luxury ready-to-wear, jewelry and even pastry brands. A man walks past a shop Dec. 12 in Monte Napoleone street in Milan, Italy. The average rent on the Milan street surged to $2,047 per square foot, compared with $2,000 per square foot on an 11-block stretch of upper Fifth Avenue. Via MonteNapoleone's small size — less than a quarter-mile long — and walking distance to services and top cultural sites are among the street's key advantages, according to Guglielmo Miani, president of the MonteNapoleone District association. "Not everything can fit, which is a benefit," since the limited space makes the street even more exclusive and dynamic, said Miani, whose group also represents businesses on the intersecting side streets that together with Via MonteNapoleone form an area known as Milan's Fashion Quadrilateral. Women look a shop Dec. 12 in Monte Napoleone street in Milan, Italy. The biggest brands on the street make 50 million euros to 100 million euros in annual sales, Miani said, which goes a long way to paying the rent. Tiffany & Co. is preparing to take up residence on Via Montenapoleone, and longtime tenant Fendi is expanding. The MonteNapoleone District says 11 million people visited the area this year through November, but there's no way to say how many were big spenders vs. window shoppers. The average shopper on Via MonteNapoleone spent 2,500 euros per purchase between August and November — the highest average receipt in the world, according to the tax-free shopping firm Global Blue. The street is a magnet for holiday shoppers who arrive in Maseratis, Porsches and even Ferraris, the sports car's limited trunk space notwithstanding. A mannequin is seen Dec. 12 in a shop in Monte Napoleone street in Milan, Italy. Lights twinkle overhead, boutique windows feature mannequins engaged in warm scenes of holiday fun, and passersby snap photos of expertly decorated cakes in pastry shop displays. A visitor from China, Chen Xinghan, waited for a taxi with a half-dozen shopping bags lined up next to him on the sidewalk. He said he paid half the price for a luxury Fendi coat that he purchased in Milan than he would have at home. "I got a lot," Chen acknowledged. "It's a fantastic place, a good place for shopping." A man waits for a taxi Dec. 12 in Monte Napoleon street in Milan, Italy. A few store windows down, Franca Da Rold, who was visiting Milan from Belluno, an Italian city in the Dolomites mountain range, marveled at a chunky, yardslong knit scarf priced at 980 euros. "I could knit that in one hour, using 12-gauge knitting needles as thick as my fingers, and thick wool. Maximum two hours," Da Rold said, but acknowledged the brand appeal. Buildings are decorated Dec. 12 in Monte Napoleone street in Milan, Italy. Despite upper Fifth Avenue getting bumped to the No. 2 spot on the Cushman & Wakefield list, the organization that serves as the Manhattan street's guardian and chief promoter had praise for MonteNapoleone's achievement. "Milan's investment in its public realm is paying off, which is a win for their shoppers, businesses and city as a whole," said Madelyn Wils, interim president of the Fifth Avenue Association. She also expressed confidence that with new investments and a record year for sales on Fifth Avenue, "we'll be back on top in no time." The holiday season feels a little less jolly considering the amount of waste generated by gift-giving. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates the amount of household garbage in the U.S. increases by 25% between Thanksgiving and New Year's. After the decorations come down, all that waste heads to landfills, producing a significant contributor to climate change: methane gas. "Greening" the holidays is essential, and one simple tip is to think more about how sustainable the materials are in your decorations, decor, and, of course, gifts. Instead of plastics, you could opt for items that can be reused, are made of renewable materials or natural fibers that boast a smaller environmental impact in both production and durability. Due to consumers' desires for more eco-friendly goods, sustainable materials are among the biggest trends in home decor. Fortunately, there are plenty of affordable—and earth-conscious—home goods that make perfect holiday gifts. Made Trade rounded up a list of sustainable home decor trends in 2025 that offer dozens of creative options for holiday gift-giving. Each trend includes examples of great gifts for the home and advice for ensuring items are sustainably produced or can help create a more eco-friendly space. In the depths of winter's gray days, it's a real gift to see a little green, which is why indoor gardening gifts are a wonderful idea. Not only are they eco-friendly and promote sustainability—the more food you can grow yourself, the less you have to buy—they also foster an appreciation of nature and bring the natural world indoors to enjoy. Sprouting kits and microgreens require minimal amounts of space and sunlight, but a sunny, south-facing window will permit a small herb garden or leafy greens for salads. If you're not sure what kind of light your recipient has access to, go with gifting indoor grow lamps along with the plants, or pick a hardy, low-water houseplant—some can act as natural air purifiers too. When buying gifts for the home, consider what materials the items are made from and how far away they come from—not only are natural materials like rattan, jute, palm leaves, clay, organic cotton and linen, and ceramics more sustainable, but if they are being used by a local craftsperson, gifters are also saving on fossil fuels for the transportation. Plus, you're helping the local economy by supporting local craftspeople, so it's a win-win. Natural fiber pillows, sheets, blankets, and even doormats offer comfort and consideration of the environment. The most sustainable and eco-friendly gift is one you already have, so get creative about reusing materials already in or around your home (raid the recycling bin, find nice pieces of wood outside, wash out and reuse glass jars) to fashion them into new, thoughtful goods. Similarly, think vintage and secondhand—what items can you give a second life to by passing them along to someone who will find new meaning in them? Some of the most thoughtful gifts are small heirlooms—pieces of jewelry or a beloved ceramic dish—passed along to the next generation that will appreciate them. Green technology offers ways to reduce our carbon footprint in everyday life, and smart thermostats, solar lights, smart sprinklers, and smart plugs all make great gifts, saving people money and conserving our valuable resources. For those looking into home renovations or updating decor, try a new light fixture paired with smart blubs, or a new window treatment with smart shades. Even something as simple as a rain barrel can reduce energy use—and while the technology for that isn't very sophisticated, it certainly is, like composting, "smart." Integrated outdoor living is the ultimate gift, allowing us to bring the natural world into our homes. However, doing so sustainably takes a little more effort than simply leaving the doors to the deck open all the time. First, find eco-friendly and sustainable outdoor furniture, perhaps thrifting it or buying it used and fixing it up for a one-of-a-kind gift. If you can't go secondhand, choose furniture made of sustainable materials such as reclaimed wood, recycled plastic (great for outdoor rugs), or bamboo. For smaller gifts, consider solar lights, a water feature that recycles water, a rain barrel, or even a set of handmade wind chimes made from seashells. Story editing by Carren Jao.

New Delhi: Seven Indians have been injured in the deadly car-ramming attack in the eastern German city of Magdeburg and the Indian embassy in Berlin is providing them all possible assistance, official sources said on Saturday night. A 50-year-old man drove his car into crowds at a Christmas market on Friday evening in Saxony-Anhalt state’s Magdeburg, leaving at least five people, including a nine-year-old, dead and nearly 200 injured, according to German authorities. Three out of seven injured Indians have been discharged from hospital, the sources cited above said. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), condemning the “horrific and senseless” attack, said the Indian mission in Germany is in contact with Indians injured. It, however, did not specify the number of injured Indians. The Indian embassy in Berlin said it is maintaining close contact with Indians who have been injured. In a statement, the MEA condemned the attack and said the Indian mission is rendering all possible assistance to the Indians injured in the incident. “We condemn the horrific and senseless attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said. “Several precious lives have been lost and many have been injured. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims.” “Our Mission is in contact with Indians who are injured, as well as their families, and rendering all possible assistance,” the MEA said.

Cable theft threatens essential servicesA Race Against Time “Every two weeks, the world loses an indigenous language, erasing an entire history and identity with it.” These words are not just a statement but a warning. Indigenous languages are the cornerstone of cultural heritage, passed down through generations as a living record of traditions, beliefs, and ways of life. However, globalization, urban migration, and generational disconnect have placed thousands of these languages at risk. In this digital age, technology is emerging as an unlikely hero, helping preserve and revive indigenous languages and cultures around the world. As a Kashmiri Pandit deeply connected to my roots, I have seen how cultural preservation anchors communities to their history. This is especially important in regions like Kashmir, where centuries-old scripts and dialects, such as the Sharda script, are being revived as a symbol of cultural pride and identity. The Global Crisis: Why Are Indigenous Languages Dying? The statistics are alarming. According to UNESCO, 40% of the world’s 6,700 languages are endangered, with hundreds already lost in the last few decades. Languages die when communities abandon them in favor of dominant global languages, often driven by economic aspirations, urbanization, and modern education systems. Colonization and cultural marginalization have further accelerated this decline, leaving younger generations disconnected from their native tongues. Indigenous languages are more than just a means of communication; they carry unique knowledge of ecosystems, oral histories, and identity. Their loss means the erasure of cultural diversity and traditional wisdom—a loss for humanity as a whole. Technology as a Catalyst: Global Efforts in Reviving Indigenous Languages In a hopeful turn, technology is playing a transformative role in preserving and revitalizing endangered languages. These global examples showcase how technology, when used effectively, can save languages from extinction and inspire pride in cultural heritage. India: A Nation of Linguistic Heritage India, home to over 700 indigenous languages, is a living mosaic of linguistic diversity. However, many of these dialects are on the brink of extinction, particularly in tribal and rural communities. Government and grassroots initiatives are stepping up to address this crisis: Closer home, efforts are being made in Kashmir to revive the Sharda script, an ancient writing system once used for religious and literary texts. Initiatives like these highlight the importance of balancing modern innovation with cultural preservation. Education: A Pathway to Preservation Integrating indigenous languages into formal education systems is essential for their survival. In New Zealand, the government has successfully made Te Reo Māori a core part of the school curriculum, sparking widespread adoption among younger generations. India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 also emphasizes the inclusion of regional and indigenous languages in primary education, ensuring that children learn in their mother tongue. However, the challenge lies in creating engaging and scalable solutions. Technology can bridge this gap through e-learning platforms, mobile apps, and interactive content that make indigenous languages exciting for younger audiences. Challenges: Bridging Generational and Digital Divides Despite significant progress, the road to language revival is not without hurdles: “Technology can document and teach a language, but its survival lies in people embracing it in daily life,” as one language revivalist aptly observed. A Personal Vision for Kashmir’s Cultural Revival Having seen firsthand the impact of digital platforms in preserving cultures, I believe that regions like Kashmir can lead the way in showcasing the power of technology in cultural preservation. Initiatives that train local youth in digital storytelling, filmmaking, and app development can bridge the gap between tradition and innovation. Platforms showcasing Kashmiri handicrafts, folk tales, and regional scripts can open global markets while safeguarding the valley’s rich heritage. A Global Movement Rooted in Local Identity The revival of indigenous languages and cultures in a digital world is a testament to the resilience of communities determined to preserve their identity. Technology, when combined with education, policy, and grassroots efforts, offers a powerful solution to a crisis threatening cultural diversity. As we celebrate the success stories of Te Reo Māori, Quechua, and India’s tribal languages, it becomes clear that the survival of indigenous languages lies in the hands of those who embrace them in both tradition and innovation. In Kashmir, where heritage and identity hold deep significance, preserving linguistic and cultural traditions must remain a priority. The marriage of technology and tradition has the potential to not only save languages but also reconnect communities to their roots, ensuring that no story, song, or history is ever lost to time.

NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, widely regarded as the architect of India’s economic reform program and a landmark nuclear deal with the United States, has died. He was 92. Singh was admitted to New Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences late Thursday after his health deteriorated due to “sudden loss of consciousness at home,” the hospital said in a statement. He was “being treated for age-related medical conditions,” the statement added. A mild-mannered technocrat, Singh became one of India’s longest-serving prime ministers for 10 years and earned a reputation as a man of great personal integrity. He was chosen to fill the role in 2004 by Sonia Gandhi, the widow of assassinated Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. But his sterling image was tainted by allegations of corruption against his ministers. Singh was elected to a second term as prime minister from 2009-2014 that was clouded by financial scandals and corruption charges over the organization of the 2010 Commonwealth Games. This led to the Congress Party’s crushing defeat in the 2014 national election by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party under the leadership of Narendra Modi. Singh adopted a low profile after relinquishing the post of prime minister. Prime Minister Modi, who succeeded Singh in 2014, called him one of India’s “most distinguished leaders” who rose from humble origins and left “a strong imprint on our economic policy over the years.” “As our Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve people’s lives,” Modi said in a post on social platform X. He called Singh’s interventions in Parliament as a lawmaker “insightful” and said “his wisdom and humility were always visible.” The hospital said Singh “was brought to the Medical Emergency” at the hospital at 8:06 p.m. “Despite all efforts, he could not be revived and was declared dead at 9:51 p.m.,” the statement said .

In my recent home visit for a senior patient confined to bed, I found the caregivers were doing their best, but the patient was experiencing significant discomfort. Secretions in the throat caused repeated irritation, and the patient had developed a bedsore on the back. This scenario highlights the challenges caregivers face in providing optimal care for seniors with restricted movement, particularly during the cold winter months. We will explore essential aspects of caring for such individuals, focusing on preventing and managing common issues like bedsores, secretions and other complications and winter-specific considerations like the use of hot water bottles and electric blankets. Bedsores Bedsores, or pressure ulcers, are common in immobile seniors. These painful sores develop due to prolonged pressure on the skin, often on bony areas like the back, hips, and heels. Prevention Tips: Management: If a bedsore develops, clean the area with saline, apply prescribed ointments and consult your doctor for advanced care if needed. Secretions in throat Throat secretions can cause significant discomfort in bedridden seniors. These secretions may accumulate due to reduced mobility and inability to clear the throat effectively. Management Tips: Adult Diapers and Hygiene For seniors with incontinence, adult diapers are essential. However, improper use can lead to skin irritation and infections. Care Tips: Feeding and Nutrition Providing proper nutrition is critical, especially for seniors with feeding difficulties. Depending on the patient’s condition, feeding may be oral or through a feeding tube. Oral Feeding Tips: Feeding Tube Care: Urinary Catheter Care For seniors with urinary catheters, proper maintenance is crucial to prevent infections. Care Tips: Winter-Specific Considerations Winter brings additional challenges for immobile seniors. Keeping them warm while avoiding risks from heating devices is essential. Hot Water Bottles: Electric Blankets: Maintaining Circulation Restricted movement can lead to poor circulation, increasing the risk of complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Tips for Better Circulation: Skin Care in Winter Dry winter air can exacerbate skin problems. Tips: Psychological Well-Being Prolonged immobility can affect a senior’s mental health, leading to feelings of isolation and depression. Strategies: Infection Control Immobile seniors are at higher risk of infections due to weakened immunity and prolonged use of devices like catheters and feeding tubes. Prevention: Importance of Regular Medical Checkups Frequent checkups help monitor the patient’s condition and address emerging issues early. What to Monitor: Support for Caregivers Caring for an immobile senior can be physically and emotionally taxing. Caregivers should prioritize their own well-being to provide effective care. Tips for Caregivers:

YSRC to raise law and order, Polavaram in Parliament

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams sat out practice Thursday with a hip ailment that makes his status for the game Sunday at Buffalo uncertain. Cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring), right tackle Morgan Moses (knee) and right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle) also were sidelined for the Jets' first full practice of the week. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who in a knee but said “there's no way I'm not playing,” practiced fully. Adams was apparently injured in last Sunday, when he had seven catches for 68 yards and a touchdown. Adams, acquired from Las Vegas in October, has 56 receptions for 719 yards and six touchdowns on 94 targets in nine games for the Jets. He's 72 yards away from his fifth straight 1,000-yard season and sixth of his career. Adams and Rodgers are also tied with Miami's Dan Marino and Mark Clayton for the third-most TD connections (82), including playoffs, by a quarterback-wide receiver duo. Gardner sat out the second half of the loss to the Rams with the hamstring injury and could miss the game against the Bills. He sat out one game after injuring a hamstring against Seattle in Week 14. It's unclear if the injuries are related. Moses and Vera-Tucker have been playing through their ailments the past several weeks. Defensive lineman Quinnen Williams, who missed the game last Sunday with a hamstring injury, was limited Thursday at practice, as were left guard John Simpson (calf), defensive end Haason Reddick (neck), safety Tony Adams (ankle), conerback Michael Carter II (back) and rookie defensive lineman Braiden McGregor (ankle).
