The event was organised by the J&K School Education Department (SED) in collaboration with NITI Ayog, UNICEF and Pi-Jam Foundation with an objective of “fostering a thriving innovation culture and creating a conducive ecosystem for students and tech enthusiasts in the Union territory.” Apart from students, more than one hundred educators, including model teachers who are building the innovation ecosystem in the region, participated in the event. J&K’s minister for education, health and social welfare Sakeena Itoo while speaking at the inaugural function of the ‘PRAGAASH-Nurturing Innovation Ecosystem in J&K’ event at Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC) emphasised the critical importance of nurturing creativity and innovative mindset among the students to aspire for an economically developed J&K. “Education is not just about academics; it is about nurturing creativity and providing students with platforms to express their talents and ideas,” she asserted, adding that the initiative demonstrates the commitment to empowering students to think beyond the textbook. She said, “The programmes like these are transforming our education system into a platform for innovation, where every student's talent is recognized and nurtured. It is an opportunity for students to explore, create, and lead with their ideas." She further stated, “Our goal is to create opportunities for every student to showcase their abilities and talents. By linking projects to real-world applications, we are preparing them for a brighter and more prosperous future." Ms. Itoo assured the participants that the education department is fully committed to supporting teachers and students in their journey towards excellence. “Together, we are building a future that thrives on creativity and innovation," she said.

Ms. Itoo stressed on the critical importance of nurturing creativity and the mind-set of young school going children to bring about transformative change in J&K. She said, “The system of education is changing and days of gaining knowledge behind closed doors are gone. Young, bright school going children are now more interested in innovations and practicals apart from regular classroom activities”. Principal Secretary (SED), Suresh Kumar Gupta, said that the department is dedicated to providing such platforms to school children in order to hone their talent and showcase their hidden abilities.

Players Era Festival organizers betting big NIL is future of college tourneysSAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 5, 2024-- Chevron Corporation today announced an organic capital expenditure range of $14.5 to $15.5 billion for consolidated subsidiaries (capex) and an affiliate capital expenditure (affiliate capex) range of $1.7 to $2.0 billion for 2025. The company’s 2025 capex and affiliate capex budgets represent a $2 billion year-over-year reduction. "The 2025 capital budget along with our announced structural cost reductions demonstrate our commitment to cost and capital discipline," said Chevron Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth. "We continue to invest in high-return, lower-carbon projects that position the company to deliver free cash flow growth." Capex Upstream spending is expected to be about $13 billion, of which roughly two-thirds is allocated to develop Chevron’s U.S. portfolio. Permian Basin spend is lower than the 2024 budget and anticipated to be between $4.5 and $5.0 billion as production growth is reduced in favor of free cash flow. The remaining U.S. investment is split between the DJ Basin and the Gulf of Mexico, where deepwater growth projects continue to ramp and are expected to deliver offshore production of 300 mboed in 2026. In International, about $1.0 billion is allocated to Australia, which include Gorgon backfill investments. Downstream capex is expected to be approximately $1.2 billion, with two-thirds allocated to the U.S. Within total upstream and downstream budgets, about $1.5 billion of capex is dedicated to lowering the carbon intensity of our operations and growing New Energies businesses. Corporate and other capex is expected to be around $0.7 billion. Affiliate Capex Tengizchevroil LLP’s budget is less than half of the affiliate capex as the Future Growth Project is projected to achieve first oil in the first half of 2025. The remaining affiliate spend primarily supports Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC, which includes the Golden Triangle Polymers and Ras Laffan Petrochemical Projects. 4Q24 Interim Update In connection with recently announced plans to achieve $2 to $3 billion in structural cost reductions by the end of 2026, the Company expects to recognize a restructuring charge of $0.7 to $0.9 billion after-tax in the fourth quarter, with associated cash outflows over the next two years. The Company also anticipates recognizing non-cash, after-tax charges related to impairments, asset sales, and other obligations of $0.4 to $0.6 billion in the fourth quarter. The Company expects to treat these as special items and exclude them from adjusted earnings. It is possible that the financial impact of these items may differ from the estimates provided, including differences due to final accounting determinations, changes in facts, circumstances or assumptions or other developments in the interim.

Julia Bradbury said she has become more focused on her health than she has ever been after “death looked her in the eyes”. The 54-year-old TV presenter revealed in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and later underwent a mastectomy during which her breast plus two lymph glands were removed before reconstruction took place. Bradbury has since stopped drinking alcohol and has changed the priorities in her life, but revealed she has received some pushback on social media from sharing her approach. She told The Times Weekend magazine: “I wasn’t close to death, but death looked me in the eyes. So I am more focused on my health than I ever have been. “I don’t drink, I eat a healthy diet and exercise every day. “When I came home from my mastectomy, I promised I would spend time outside every day, and that is my mantra, however poor it might be in this shitty winter.” Bradbury, who has since been given the all-clear, said a doctor recently helped her reframe how she utilises her energy. She recalled: “He said, ‘This drive that you have – you’re running on a credit card. You can push through all sorts of things. But is that the best thing for you?’. “I realised you don’t have to win every race. You don’t have to overcome everything. I don’t want to max out the credit card.” The presenter previously discussed her experience in an ITV documentary, Julia Bradbury: Breast Cancer And Me, which followed her as she came to terms with her diagnosis and prepared to undergo her single mastectomy. She also regularly shares her wellness and fitness tips with her more than 270,000 Instagram followers. However, she revealed she has had pushback from people saying, “I was healthy, I go to the gym, I got cancer, and now its metastasised and I’ve got secondary cancer. So are you blaming me for my illness?”. Responding to the accusations, she added: “No. All I’m saying is, this is what I went through. It was a wake-up call, and it made me look at life differently. “It made me prioritise my sleep, emotional health, and give more time to my loved ones. “If I drink more than four units of alcohol a week, my risk of reoccurrence goes up by 28%. But people find me giving up drinking infuriating.” Bradbury, who has a 13-year-old son Zephyr, and nine-year-old twins Xanthe and Zena, said having children later in life has caused her to not be as “patient” as she feels she should be at times after becoming more set in her own ways. “People think that after you’ve got a cancer diagnosis, you become this beautiful angel with a halo, and a super mum and do everything right”, she added. “But no, you make the same mistakes. I lose my temper, and I can hear myself saying things that I can’t believe I’m saying. “None of us know what we’re doing, really. We’re just doing our best. I know they do have lots of love. They are told that they’re loved every day.”RICHMOND, Va. , Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Corporation (NYSE:UVV) ("Universal" or the "Company"), a global business-to-business agriproducts company, today announced that, as expected, on November 19, 2024 , it received a notice (the "NYSE Notice") from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that the Company is not in compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as a result of its failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 (the "Form 10-Q") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") prior to November 18, 2024 , the end of the extension period provided by Rule 12b -25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
