7 Steps to Help Keep Your Small Business Cyber Safe This Holiday SeasonJLR will compete at the 2026 Dakar Rally as part of a wider multi-year partnership with the event. The British company will compete with its Defender brand – now a brand in its own right following a restructuring announced in June that saw the former-Jaguar Land Rover business become simply JLR, and former-Land Rover products Defender, Discovery, and Range Rover become separate brands in their own right, alongside Jaguar. Aside from that, little is known about the project so far, with further details set to be announced during the 2025 Dakar Rally in January. “Adventure is in the very DNA of the Defender brand, so we are inspired to partner with Dakar – the ultimate motorsport adventure – where competitors truly embrace the impossible,” said Defender managing director Mark Cameron. “Our partnership begins in 2025 when Defender will showcase its capability and durability as the official car of the event, but we are already looking to the future and entering a Defender Dakar works team from 2026. “That Defender Dakar works program will be led by James Barclay, JLR Motorsport managing director, and I know James and his team are inspired by the challenge that lays ahead.” The program will be the second factory-backed motorsport effort from JLR, with its Jaguar brand currently competing in Formula E. It secured both the teams’ and manufacturers’ titles last season, but narrowly missed out on a hat-trick after Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein beat Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy to the drivers’ crown at the final round in London in July. “Anyone who loves motorsport will have a passion for Dakar,” said Barclay. “It’s the Everest of motorsport and an event where success is dependent as much on human determination in the toughest of conditions as it is the ultimate test for vehicle and engineering capability. Bringing the world’s most capable and iconic 4×4 to the world’s most iconic rally-raid is a perfect fit. “Our first time ever with a factory entry into the Dakar means we are right at the beginning of our journey. We are conscious of how much we have to learn and achieve before taking the start in 2026, but we are already well under way and looking forward to the adventure. We will share more details of this exciting program at the Dakar rally in 2025.” JLR’s involvement with Dakar extends beyond competing in the contest, with Defender also supplying cars to be used by officials and VIP media from next year’s event, while a fleet of specially-prepared Defender recce vehicles will also be provided to officials to be used for support and to test out future rally routes. “We are thrilled to welcome Defender as the new official car partner of the Dakar,” said Dakar rally director David Castera. “It is an iconic brand, present on all continents, that shares our passion for adventure, performance, and innovation. “We are also excited that Defender will accompany us throughout the year, providing vehicles for the organizing teams and for the route reconnaissance. Their reliability and robustness will help us improve our daily efficiency.” Defender’s addition to the Dakar rally roster follows the addition factory efforts from Ford and Romanian brand Dacia, which will compete from next year with programs led by M-Sport and Prodrive respectively. The 2025 Dakar rally begins on January 3 and will be the 47th running of the event, and fifth to take place in Saudi Arabia. The rally raid crown jewel moved from Dakar in Senegal after the 2007 edition, following political unrest in Mauritania. In 2008 the seven-stage Central European Rally counted as the Dakar, before the event was properly rebooted in Argentina and Chile a year later. It remained in South America until 2019, before setting in the Middle East in 2020, where it has remained since.
We all live with the same invisible health condition — and we’re told it’s ‘our fault’LONDON UK car production dropped 30.1% in November, according to the latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) on Friday. A total of 64,216 cars were produced during the month, 27,711 fewer than in November 2023. This marks the ninth consecutive month of falling output and the sector’s worst performance for November since 1980. The decline stems from multiple challenges, including strategic product shifts, weakened demand in key global markets, and adjustments to production schedules. Additionally, comparisons to November 2023 are skewed, as output during that period was bolstered by a recovery from COVID-related supply chain disruptions. As UK car makers transition to electric vehicle (EV) production, significant retooling efforts have impacted manufacturing output. The shift has resulted in production cuts across all major manufacturers. While November saw the production of 19,165 battery electric, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid electric cars, this figure represents a sharp 45.5% decline compared to the same month last year. Despite the challenges, electrified vehicles now account for nearly a third (29.8%) of total production. From January to November, over a quarter of a million electrified vehicles were manufactured in the UK. However, this figure is down 19.7% year-on-year, largely due to model switchovers at key plants. Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, described the figures as "offering little Christmas cheer for the sector." “With billions of pounds committed to new technologies, new models, and production tooling, the industry is facing significant strain,” Hawes said. “The government can play a critical role by supporting consumers in the transition to electric vehicles, fast-tracking its Industrial Strategy for advanced manufacturing, and urgently reviewing market regulations that are exacerbating the sector’s challenges,” he added.GLASSBRIDGE: Google Blocks Thousands of Pro-China Fake News SitesThis NFL insider believes Dolphins can 'make noise' in playoffs | Sporting News

The 17-year-old son of musicians Sinéad O’Connor and Dónal Lunny was found dead in an area of secluded wasteland behind Corke Abbey housing estate between Bray and Shankill on January 7th, 2022. He was admitted to TUH on December 29th, 2021 after he made a “serious” attempt to take his own life two days earlier, a sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court heard on Monday. Viewed as a “high-risk” patient by psychiatrists due to the seriousness of his suicide attempt, Shane was prescribed 24-hour, one-to-one supervision during his hospital stay. At the time of his admission, he was under the care of Tusla , the Child and Family Agency. The court heard evidence that on various occasions during his admission, supervision was not provided to Shane. On the morning of January 6th – when he absconded from TUH – there were no healthcare assistants available at the hospital to supervise him due to understaffing, the court heard. Prof Anthony O’Connor, a gastroenterology consultant overseeing Shane’s care while at TUH, said that “generally” one-to-one supervision of patients is provided by hospital staff. He said Shane’s supervision was “cobbled together” during his admission, provided at different times by his father Mr Lunny, care workers who were familiar with Shane and hospital healthcare assistants. Prof O’Connor said that while it was clear that Shane was unwell and troubled, his “gentleness, kindness and creativity” were apparent to all who cared for him. Florence Lambert, a clinical nurse manager, said nurses on Shane’s ward realised he was missing from his single room at about 10.30am on January 6th, the court heard. The ward was understaffed that day, the court heard. After hospital staff reviewed CCTV footage, it was determined that Shane had left the hospital at about 10am, and both gardaí and Tusla were subsequently informed he was missing. Dr Paula McKay, a consultant psychiatrist at TUH who cared for Shane during his admission, said she was not made aware of gaps in his supervision. She told coroner Dr Cróna Gallagher that had she known, she would have “escalated” the case, “because this was a very high risk”. Dr McKay outlined plans that were in train to involuntarily admit Shane to Linn Dara, a HSE Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (Camhs) facility, following his stay at TUH. At the time he absconded, Shane was awaiting transfer to Linn Dara – subject to a court order – having recovered from the impacts of the suicide attempt. Mary Rose McCarthy, a psychiatrist attached to Camhs in Co Kildare, gave detailed evidence of Shane’s prior admissions to Linn Dara, his various diagnoses with mental and behavioural disorders and psychotic episodes, the impact of his sustained cannabis use and previous instances of his suicidal ideation and behaviour. Seán O’Connor, Shane’s grandfather, had objected to Ms McCarthy providing detailed evidence. He said it was “accepted” that Shane had a difficult youth and had a difficult time “with the politics of the day”. The court heard that Shane had spent time in care since he was 11 years old. He said Shane’s late mother Sinéad often spoke about her son, and to do them both justice there was no use in “raking over dead embers”. “A child arrived in hospital sick,” he said. “We’re talking about the systems that allowed him to escape.” A brief deposition provided by Ms O’Connor was read on to the court record. In the deposition, she said she identified her son to gardaí at the mortuary at St Columcille’s Hospital in Loughlinstown, south Dublin, on January 8th. Several members of Shane’s family were present in court on Monday, including his father and his uncle, the writer Joseph O’Connor. Fiachra Gallagher is an Irish Times journalist

Land grabbers will be sent to jail, warns Andhra Pradesh CMNagpur: "Work on the country's biggest marketplace for organic farm produce like fruits, vegetables, and food grains will begin soon at a site along Wardha Road . The market, being built by Agrovision Foundation , will enable farmers to sell their produce following tests," said Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari. Speaking at the concluding function of the Agrovision Expo on Monday, Gadkari said the idea is to provide a better price for farmers and also ensure that consumers pay a reasonable rate at the same time. IPL 2025 mega auction IPL Auction 2025: Who went where and for how much IPL 2025: Complete list of players of each franchise This will be done by eliminating middlemen, he said. Farmers can bring their produce in one or half kg packets, which will be tested for being organic, after which they will be directly allowed to sell it in the market, said the minister. Agrovision, which is also coming up with a farmers' centre at the same site, is a charitable trust, and its sole objective is to ensure farmers' benefit, he said. Gadkari said a plan has been mooted during the expo to have specialised teams that will work on increasing the yield of different crops grown in the Vidarbha region. This includes oranges, cotton, soyabean, and paddy mainly. He also expressed the need to increase the orange yield in the region. In Spain, a single acre yields as much as 40 tonnes of oranges. However, in Vidarbha, it barely reaches 16 tonnes, and it's 6 tonnes in Arunachal Pradesh. It needs to be studied how the 40-ton yield can be achieved, said Gadkari. He said the Agrovision Expo, which started 16 years ago, has come a long way. Earlier, it used to be limited to Vidarbha. Now, there is participation from not only across Maharashtra but also Madhya Pradesh and Telangana. "It was encouraging to see farmers taking down notes during the sessions. This indicates that they are keen to adopt the latest technology," said Gadkari. He also stressed the formation of farmers' producer organisations (FPO) so that the agriculturists can procure equipment commonly. Stressing on alternate fuels, he said it can substantially bring down the cost for farmers. Tractors that run on alternate fuels were also on display at the event, said Gadkari. Arunachal Pradesh agriculture minster Gabrierl Wangsu was the chief guest on the occasion, who spoke of cooperation between two the states in future.
