Late kickoff return TDs by Turpin and Thomas spark the Cowboys as they end their 5-game skidHomeland Security Head Criticizes EU’s ‘Adversarial’ AI ApproachFrom a young age, Malvika Raj Joshi showed incredible skill in mathematics and computer programming. However, her journey hit a roadblock when she couldn’t qualify for admission to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). This was because she hadn’t taken the standard class 10 and 12 board exams, which are mandatory for IIT admissions. Malvika is an inspiring example of talent and determination. At just 17 years old, Malvika’s exceptional abilities were recognised by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States. She was offered a scholarship based on her achievements, particularly her three medals at the International Olympiad of Informatics. These accolades proved her skills and allowed her to bypass traditional education requirements. Malvika’s educational path was unconventional. Her mother Supriya decided to homeschool her after she completed the seventh grade at Dadar Parsee Youth Assembly School in Mumbai. Supriya left her job to design a personalised curriculum for Malvika. Despite the lack of formal schooling, Malvika excelled in programming and mathematics. She later joined the Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI) for an MSc-level course, as her knowledge was considered equivalent to a BSc. However, her success in global programming competitions is what ultimately earned her a place at MIT.

He departed on a season-long loan to his former club Brentford for the 2023-24 season and left Goodison for a second time in August when Marseille signed him on loan with an obligation to make the deal permanent. After leaving Everton in the summer, Maupay outraged their fans by posting on social media a scene from the film Shawshank Redemption, famous for depicting the main character’s long fight for freedom.
