The state public health department on Friday postponed the deworming campaign in Pune city citing “technical problems”. The state government has not stated when the campaign will be held, officials said. The state department also informed the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) health department to give the latter’s existing stock of 2.50 lakh pills to the district health officer to be used for deworming campaign in rural Pune. Hindustan Times had published a report on November 28 titled “PMC may delay deworming campaign due to medicine shortage” on the delay in the state-wide campaign scheduled for December 4 due to shortage of albendazole tablets. The campaign was slated to be conducted across 17 districts of Maharashtra with a mop-up round scheduled on December 10, said officials. Dr Rajesh Dighe, city immunisation officer, said that as per the campaign plan, 4.50 lakh children aged one to 19 years in Pune city were supposed to be included. “We had stock of 2.50 lakh albendazole tablets and had requested supply of 2 lakh tablets. With the postponement of the drive, we have sent the stock of 2.50 lakh tablets to zilla parishad for their campaign,” he said. As per officials, PMC, Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) and zilla parishad, Pune were to get the albendazole tablets stock for the campaign from Mumbai. However, samples of the tablets in Mumbai failed to meet the required standards as per laboratory reports resulting in shortage of supply. Later, PCMC and ZP received the stock from Buldhana, but no medicines were provided to PMC. Dr Nina Borade, health chief, PMC, said, “The officials are now trying to source medicines from Telangana for the drive in the city. We are ready for the campaign have completed training, line list and Information Education and Communication (IEC) activities,” she said. Worms are parasites, which live in human intestines for food and survival. The worms consume nutrients meant for the human body and cause blood loss, poor nutrition and stunt growth. Children aged one to 19 years are included in the deworming campaign. Deworming helps reduce the burden of parasitic infections, which can cause malnutrition, stunted growth, anaemia, and impaired cognitive development in children. Deworming can help prevent complications associated with worm infections, such as nutritional deficiencies and growth impairment, thereby supporting overall health and development, officials said.President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi met Monday with Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and Central Bank of Egypt Governor Hassan Abdalla to review Egypt’s macroeconomic indicators. The meeting followed a recent visit by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and its reaffirmation of support for the country’s economic reform efforts. The president received a briefing highlighting positive trends in the banking sector, monetary policy, the exchange rate, and the Central Bank of Egypt’s inflation-control measures. The government’s efforts to bolster foreign currency reserves were also discussed. Following the briefing, President Al-Sisi instructed the Central Bank of Egypt and the banking system to continue providing crucial resources for production and industry in key sectors, to foster Egypt’s overall economic growth. The IMF’s backing comes amid ongoing economic challenges exacerbated by regional instability. Last week, IMF Communications Director Julie Kozack, speaking in Washington, D.C., underscored Egypt’s commitment to crucial reforms designed to safeguard macroeconomic stability. “Kristalina Georgieva, the managing director of the IMF, had a very constructive visit to Egypt that underscored the fund’s support for Egypt’s resilience and efforts to maintain its economic stability,” Kozack said during a press briefing. She added that the visit took place against a backdrop of heightened regional tensions impacting Egypt’s economic growth prospects. The IMF mission’s recent visit to Egypt yielded significant progress in policy discussions for the fourth review of the country’s 46-month loan program. Approved in 2022 and expanded to $8bn earlier this year, the program addresses Egypt’s economic difficulties, including rising inflation and foreign currency shortages. Successful completion of the review would release a further $1.2bn in financing for Egypt.

He said BharatNet's rollout will catalyse job creation for roles like fibre technicians, NOC (network operations centre) staff, and indirect roles such as installation and repair technicians, and customer support professionals. "Additionally, fibre-sharing agreements with other partners are anticipated to scale up, further enhancing, State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd ( BSNL ) had opened bids for BharatNet phase III in August. Soon after, private players including HFCL , Sterlite Technologies (STL), Polycab and Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) had announced that they had emerged as lowest bidders in separate state-wide tenders to provide middle-mile connectivity.

WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors moved Monday to abandon the classified documents case against President-elect Donald Trump in light of longstanding Justice Department policy that says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. The announcement in an appeals court filing in Florida came shortly after a similar filing was made by prosecutors in Washington, D.C., where they asked to dismiss the case accusing Trump of plotting to overturn the 2020 election. FILE - Special counsel Jack Smith speaks to the media about an indictment of former President Donald Trump, Aug. 1, 2023, at an office of the Department of Justice in Washington. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File) The move amounts to a predictable but nonetheless stunning conclusion to a criminal case that just one year ago had been seen as the most perilous legal threat that he faced. It reflects the practical consequences of Trump’s victory, ensuring he enters office free from scrutiny over his hoarding of top secret documents and conduct that prosecutors said had jeopardized national scrutiny. The dismissal had been foreshadowed in recent weeks by the revelation that special counsel Jack Smith was evaluating how to wind down both that case and a separate pending prosecution he brought charging Trump with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Justice Department legal opinions dating back decades say sitting presidents cannot be indicted or prosecuted while in office. People are also reading... THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Special counsel Jack Smith asked a federal judge on Monday to dismiss the case accusing President-elect Donald Trump of plotting to overturn the 2020 election, citing longstanding Justice Department policy shielding presidents from prosecution while in office. The move announced in court papers marks the end of the Justice Department's landmark effort to hold Trump accountable for what prosecutors called a criminal conspiracy to cling to power in the run-up to his supporters' attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Justice Department prosecutors, citing longstanding department guidance that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted, said the department’s position is that “the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated.” “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind,” the prosecutors wrote in Monday’s court filing. The decision was expected after Smith's team began assessing how to wind down both the 2020 election interference case and the separate classified documents case in the wake of Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. The Justice Department believes Trump can no longer be tried in accordance with longstanding policy that says sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted. Trump has cast both cases as politically motivated, and had vowed to fire Smith as soon as he takes office in January.

(Brandon Bell/Pool via AP) The 2020 election case brought last year was once seen as one of the most serious legal threats facing the Republican as he vied to reclaim the White House. But it quickly stalled amid legal fighting over Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for acts he took while in the White House. The U.S. Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, and sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine which allegations in the indictment, if any, could proceed to trial. The case was just beginning to pick up steam again in the trial court in the weeks leading up this year’s election. Smith’s team in October filed a lengthy brief laying out new evidence they planned to use against him at trial, accusing him of using “resorting to crimes” in an increasingly desperate effort to overturn the will over voters after he lost to President Joe Biden.

According to an industry expert, resilience has become a board-level concern for Australia’s financial services industry ahead of new CPS 230 Operational Risk Management regulations from the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority, the industry’s regulatory body. Australian banks, insurers, and superannuation funds will be required to meet the APRA’s new consolidated CPS 230 standard for operational risk management. Those classified as “significant” financial institutions have until July 2025 to comply, while non-significant financial institutions have been given until July 2026 to comply with specific business continuity requirements and scenario analysis requirements. The obligations focus on businesses’ resilience. Institutions subject to CPS 230 must ensure the continuity of critical operations during business disruptions. Compliance with these regulations is closely tied to technology, as organisations must maintain operational technology to deliver critical services during events such as cybersecurity incidents and other disruptions. Jamie Simon, director of banking and financial services at Amazon Web Services, told TechRepublic that the APRA-regulated industry was well prepared for the introduction of next year’s new requirements. “We’ve had quite a bit of time now to understand the intent and also to start to work with customers to help prepare them for it — and they’re very well progressed across the industry,” Simon said. Real-world examples that underscore the importance of resilience Resilience has become a top priority for boards at APRA-regulated institutions, standing alongside cyber security as a crucial focus. There is now heightened attention from the top down to ensure businesses meet their obligations effectively. A key driver of this shift is CPS 230, which holds boards accountable for overseeing operational risk management, including business continuity and managing service provider arrangements. Recent public incidents in the sector have further underscored the importance of resilience, providing boards with concrete examples of what could go wrong and why proactive oversight is essential. In October, an outage at Australia’s second-largest super fund, the Australian Retirement Trust, caused nearly 100,000 pension recipients to wait five extra days for payments. That same month, system issues and outages also affected Westpac, where customers struggled to access banking and payments over three days. SEE: Data centre outages cause focus on risk mitigation “Any time any kind of public event happens, it raises the level of visibility and awareness at board level,” Simon said. “From the regulator, that puts more focus on making sure the posturing, positioning, design, and ways of working are really robust and well set up to minimise or avoid any such event in the future.” He added that a bell curve exists when preparing a market for a regulation such as CPS 230, and it is influenced by each institution’s capacity and capability to understand and prepare for it. However, he said that some bigger entities that had more at stake and were due to come under the regulation first were establishing their own risk practices that exceeded the APRA guidance. “They are actually in a significantly better position than the guidelines outline or require of them, which I think is a really positive thing within the Australian financial services industry,” Simon said. SaaS system observability is seen as a key way to increase resilience The observability of SaaS supply chains is an area where the financial services industry is pushing ahead. As part of APRA’s CPS 230, the financial services industry needs to enhance third-party risk management to support resilience and ensure any risks from material service providers are appropriately managed. “The regulatory changes mean having to carry more responsibility of understanding and managing their full supply chain,” Simon said. “That’s where I think a lot of them are getting ahead of the guidelines; they are working really hard to understand what that full end-to-end looks like and partnering with suppliers.” Simon said one industry trend is the significant adoption of SaaS third-party providers. Institutions no longer run the infrastructure themselves but are asking providers to run the physical infrastructure sitting underneath “what can be fairly critical workloads sometimes.” SEE: Obsidian Security warns of rising SaaS threats to enterprises Ensuring strong observability across all systems and third parties is key, Simon said. This includes having the right tools in place to monitor, understand, and pre-emptively identify risks across their own and third-party systems. This also requires institutions to work with major cloud service providers like AWS. “AWS is really leaning into that to make sure that we’re able to provide them all the right levels of visibility in the system so they can feel really confident that their full supply chain is protected and secure,” he added. Resilience can be an enabler of innovation A focus on resilience is warranted, given the impact disruptions can have on businesses and the customers who suffer through them. “Fairly high visibility outages that take down customer services for a period of time can lead to customer churn,” Simon said. “It can lead to significant customer dissatisfaction, and that can have significant top-line implications. And that’s true of all industries, not just financial services institutions.” However, he explained that typical approaches often trade resilience off with driving innovation: “It’s often talked about as a counterbalance — like you’re trying to find a balance between those two things.” SEE: How AWS responded to the generative AI wave of 2023 However, he said AWS strongly believes that having a strong resilience and security position “actually enables you to move faster with confidence when you start to innovate around things like AI and automation of business processes and more automation of the customer experience.” “That in turn, allows you to drive significant automation into resilience and security practices, which then helps them uplift and it becomes this really positive flywheel effect,” he said. Rather than seeing resilience as a counterbalance to innovation, he said the relationship between the two can be seen as driving faster, safer innovation through better resilience and security.Share Tweet Share Share Email Financial stability and diversification of assets have always been critical to man, and gold remains one of the most valued and versatile commodities. As a tangible store of value, gold has long been revered for its ability to hedge against economic uncertainty. Whether you are an investor, a collector, or simply someone looking to liquidate your gold assets, understanding how to sell gold effectively is crucial. To achieve this, it is essential to have access to accurate industry data, strategic insights, and trusted gold buyers like Precious Metals Refinery . For those looking to Sell Gold , selecting a reputable buyer such as Precious Metals Refinery (PMR) ensures transparency, fair market value, and a seamless transaction process. PMR is renowned for its expertise in evaluating gold and other precious metals, making it a trusted partner for sellers in an ever-evolving market. This article delves into the process, market trends, and best practices for selling gold in 2025 and betond, providing a roadmap for maximizing your returns. The Global Gold Market in 2025 The gold market continues to thrive as a cornerstone of global trade and investment. According to recent reports , the global gold market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4% from 2023 to 2030, reaching a valuation of $376 billion by 2030. In 2025 alone, gold demand is expected to remain robust due to several key factors: 1) Inflation Hedge : With persistent inflation in many major economies, gold remains a preferred asset to safeguard against the erosion of purchasing power. 2) Technological Demand : The rise in demand for gold in technology, including electronics and renewable energy components, bolsters its market value. 3) Jewelry and Investment : Traditional markets, such as jewelry and bullion investment, continue to drive significant demand, particularly in countries like India and China. Steps to Sell Gold Effectively Selling gold may appear straightforward, but optimizing returns requires a strategic approach. Below are the key steps and considerations to ensure a successful transaction: 1) Assess the Value of Your Gold The first step in selling gold is understanding its value. Gold’s worth is primarily determined by its weight and purity, measured in karats. For instance: 24-karat gold is pure gold, while 18-karat gold contains 75% gold and 25% alloy. Accurate weighing using a certified scale ensures precision in determining the gold’s mass, often expressed in grams or ounces. To ensure a reliable assessment, you can visit Precious Metals Refinery, where experienced professionals use state-of-the-art equipment to evaluate gold accurately. 2) Monitor Market Prices Gold prices fluctuate daily, influenced by global economic conditions , geopolitical tensions, and monetary policies. Staying updated with current gold prices is crucial to timing your sale effectively. In 2025, gold prices are projected to hover between $1,850 and $2,050 per ounce, reflecting a stable yet dynamic market. Websites like PMR provide real-time gold price updates, empowering sellers with the knowledge to make informed decisions. 3) Choose a Trusted Buyer The success of your gold sale largely depends on the buyer’s credibility. Reputable establishments like Precious Metals Refinery prioritize customer satisfaction by offering: Transparent pricing based on live market rates Expert appraisals with no hidden fees A secure and efficient selling process 4) Understand Tax Implications When selling gold, understanding the tax implications in your jurisdiction is essential. In the United States, for example, gold sales may be subject to capital gains tax if the sale price exceeds your purchase price. Consulting with a tax professional can help you navigate these regulations. 5) Negotiate and Close the Sale Once you receive an appraisal, negotiate if necessary to ensure you are receiving a fair offer. A trusted buyer like PMR is committed to offering competitive rates, eliminating the need for extensive negotiation. Future Trends in Gold Selling The landscape for selling gold is evolving, with several trends shaping the industry: 1. Digital Platforms The rise of digital gold trading platforms allows sellers to liquidate their assets conveniently. These platforms provide real-time pricing and secure transactions, bridging the gap between traditional gold buyers and tech-savvy sellers. 2. Sustainability in Gold Recycling As environmental concerns take center stage, sustainable practices in gold recycling are gaining traction. Companies like PMR emphasize eco-friendly methods for refining and repurposing gold, aligning with global sustainability goals. 3. Increasing Popularity of Gold-Backed Cryptocurrencies The intersection of gold and blockchain technology is revolutionizing asset trading. Gold-backed cryptocurrencies, pegged to the value of physical gold, provide an innovative avenue for diversifying investments and liquidating gold holdings. 4. Expanding Global Markets Emerging economies in Asia, Africa, and Latin America are becoming significant players in the gold trade. This expansion creates new opportunities for sellers to access diverse markets. Why Choose Precious Metals Refinery? Choosing the right buyer is pivotal when selling gold, and PMR stands out for several reasons.

The military's tradition of tracking Santa Claus on his gravity-defying sweep across the globe will carry on this Christmas Eve, even if the U.S. government shuts down, officials said Friday. Each year, at least 100,000 kids call into the North American Aerospace Defense Command to inquire about Santa’s location. Millions more follow online — in nine languages — as St. Nick swoops along the earth's meridians. “We fully expect for Santa to take flight on Dec. 24 and NORAD will track him," the U.S.-Canadian agency said in a statement. On any other night, NORAD is scanning the heavens for potential threats, such as last year's Chinese spy balloon. But on Christmas Eve, volunteers in Colorado Springs , Colorado, are fielding questions like, “When is Santa coming to my house?” and, “Am I on the naughty or nice list?” The endeavor is supported by local and corporate sponsors, who also help shield the tradition from Washington dysfunction. Bob Sommers, 63, a civilian contractor and NORAD volunteer, told The Associated Press that there are "screams and giggles and laughter” when families call in, usually on speakerphone. Sommers often says on the call that everyone must be asleep before Santa arrives, prompting parents to say, "Do you hear what he said? We got to go to bed early." NORAD's annual tracking of Santa has endured since the Cold War, predating ugly sweater parties and Mariah Carey classics. Here's how it began and why the phones keep ringing. The origin story is Hollywood-esque It started with a child's accidental phone call in 1955. The Colorado Springs newspaper printed a Sears advertisement that encouraged children to call Santa, listing a phone number. A boy called. But he reached the Continental Air Defense Command, now NORAD, a joint U.S. and Canadian effort to spot potential enemy attacks. Tensions were growing with the Soviet Union, along with anxieties about nuclear war. Air Force Col. Harry W. Shoup picked up an emergency-only “red phone” and was greeted by a tiny voice that began to recite a Christmas wish list. “He went on a little bit, and he takes a breath, then says, ‘Hey, you’re not Santa,’” Shoup told The Associated Press in 1999. Realizing an explanation would be lost on the youngster, Shoup summoned a deep, jolly voice and replied, “Ho, ho, ho! Yes, I am Santa Claus. Have you been a good boy?” Shoup said he learned from the boy's mother that Sears mistakenly printed the top-secret number. He hung up, but the phone soon rang again with a young girl reciting her Christmas list. Fifty calls a day followed, he said. In the pre-digital age, the agency used a 60-by-80-foot (18-by-24-meter) plexiglass map of North America to track unidentified objects. A staff member jokingly drew Santa and his sleigh over the North Pole . The tradition was born. “Note to the kiddies,” began an AP story from Colorado Springs on Dec. 23, 1955. “Santa Claus Friday was assured safe passage into the United States by the Continental Air Defense Command.” In a likely reference to the Soviets, the article noted that Santa was guarded against possible attack from "those who do not believe in Christmas.” Is the origin story humbug? Some grinchy journalists have nitpicked Shoup's story, questioning whether a misprint or a misdial prompted the boy's call. In 2014, tech news site Gizmodo cited an International News Service story from Dec. 1, 1955, about a child's call to Shoup. Published in the Pasadena Independent, the article said the child reversed two digits in the Sears number. "When a childish voice asked COC commander Col. Harry Shoup, if there was a Santa Claus at the North Pole, he answered much more roughly than he should — considering the season: ‘There may be a guy called Santa Claus at the North Pole, but he’s not the one I worry about coming from that direction,'" Shoup said in the brief piece. In 2015, The Atlantic magazine doubted the flood of calls to the secret line, while noting that Shoup had a flair for public relations. Phone calls aside, Shoup was indeed media savvy. In 1986, he told the Scripps Howard News Service that he recognized an opportunity when a staff member drew Santa on the glass map in 1955. A lieutenant colonel promised to have it erased. But Shoup said, “You leave it right there,” and summoned public affairs. Shoup wanted to boost morale for the troops and public alike. “Why, it made the military look good — like we’re not all a bunch of snobs who don’t care about Santa Claus,” he said. Shoup died in 2009. His children told the StoryCorps podcast in 2014 that it was a misprinted Sears ad that prompted the phone calls. “And later in life he got letters from all over the world,” said Terri Van Keuren, a daughter. "People saying ‘Thank you, Colonel, for having, you know, this sense of humor.’” A rare addition to Santa's story NORAD's tradition is one of the few modern additions to the centuries-old Santa story that have endured, according to Gerry Bowler, a Canadian historian who spoke to the AP in 2010. Ad campaigns or movies try to “kidnap” Santa for commercial purposes, said Bowler, who wrote “Santa Claus: A Biography.” NORAD, by contrast, takes an essential element of Santa's story and views it through a technological lens. In a recent interview with the AP, Air Force Lt. Gen. Case Cunningham explained that NORAD radars in Alaska and Canada — known as the northern warning system — are the first to detect Santa. He leaves the North Pole and typically heads for the international dateline in the Pacific Ocean. From there he moves west, following the night. “That's when the satellite systems we use to track and identify targets of interest every single day start to kick in,” Cunningham said. “A probably little-known fact is that Rudolph’s nose that glows red emanates a lot of heat. And so those satellites track (Santa) through that heat source.” NORAD has an app and website, www.noradsanta.org, that will track Santa on Christmas Eve from 4 a.m. to midnight, mountain standard time. People can call 1-877-HI-NORAD to ask live operators about Santa’s location from 6 a.m. to midnight, mountain time.
