A 90% loss in earnings is caused by Twitter India's declining ad income.
For the most recent fiscal year, Twitter Communications India, now a division of X Corp (previously known as Twitter), reported a sharp drop in both net profit and sales. According to an Economic Times investigation, this decline is mostly due to a sharp decline in advertising revenue when Elon Musk's new leadership fired the worldwide ad sales team.The company's net profit fell 90% to Rs 3 crore from Rs 30 crore the year before, according to regulatory records. In a similar vein, revenue dropped sharply by 90%, from Rs 208 crore to Rs 21 crore. In India, Twitter's primary revenue source is still advertising. The company responded to these difficulties by cutting employee benefit costs by 95%, from Rs 130 crore to Rs 6 crore, after firing almost all of its staff in India, which once had more than 200 workers. Consequently, overall costs decreased by 89%, from Rs 168 crore to Rs 19 crore.This dramatic drop in revenue has been caused in part by the removal of the ad sales staff and the withdrawal of international businesses from the platform, which is partly the result of continuous conflicts with Musk. Under Musk's direction, X Corp has even taken big marketers like Mars and Unilever to court over their boycott of the platform. According to Kantar research, 26% of marketers intend to reduce their X advertising budgets in 2025, which is the biggest decrease ever seen from any major international ad platform.

In front of Chief Justice Faustin Ntezilyayo, Kagame took the oath of office and swore to “preserve peace and national sovereignty, consolidate national unity.” For the iron-fisted Kagame, who has dominated the small African nation since the 1994 genocide, the results of the July 15 election were always certain, first as president and later as de facto leader.Paul Kagame: Who was he?

Prior to its 1990 invasion of Rwanda, he commanded the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), an armed rebel group.

Rwanda is devoid of democracy The National Electoral Commission reports that he received 99.18% of the votes cast, which is good for an additional five years in office.

In one of the greatest Hindi movies of the year, Jigra, Vasan Bala uses Alia Bhatt as a weapon; Karan Johar had better watch out for him.
Post-credits scene: After Jigra, which stars Alia Bhatt and is one of the best Hindi films of the year, one would expect that Dharma Productions wouldn't force Vasan Bala into moving traffic. The picture is a near-perfect marriage of Bala's humorous sensibility with Karan Johar's signature drama.It's easy to make the audience hate a villain in a film. People seek someone to vent their anger on; they are cynical. However, it's not as simple as it may seem to convince those same viewers to actually feel sympathy for your movie's protagonist. They must let their guard down and let go of their egos in order to be vulnerable in front of complete strangers. Above all, they must treat the objectively insane act of forming an emotional bond with a fictional character as though they were real. However, Vasan Bala has figured it out in Jigra, a movie that accomplishes this nearly impossible task by allowing you, the audience, to take part in the most elaborate demonstration of group empathy ever created.The most impactful scenes in Jigra are those where Bala is acting completely sincere, which is a little surprising given that he built his career on irreverent genre films. To be clear, he has plenty of space for his signature cinematic flourishes, including cameos, shrewd homages to great directors, and a number of other overt and subtle allusions to earlier masterpieces. Someone actually mentions Kim Ki-duk and Wong Kar-wai at one point. Perhaps the unique subversive act of including a Nicolas Winding Refn reference in a film that begins with the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai theme deserves its own article. The problem is that all of this is only ornamentation. Ironically, what really elevates Jigra as a film is theThe character played by Alia Bhatt is Satya, a young lady whose life decisions seem to be influenced by her personal trauma. When Satya and her brother Ankur were little, they watched in silence as their father leaped to his death. Throughout the movie, she has flashbacks of this scene on a few well-chosen moments, none of which feel exploitative. Satya and Ankur were apparently taken to live with wealthy acquaintances after their father committed suicide. They give them the appearance of being a part of the family, but they never quite forget that they are, as an old Hindi film writer would say, "sautela."Ankur is forced to take the fall for his closest friend when the authorities find drugs in their car while they are on a business trip to a fictional Southeast Asian nation. Clearly, these weren't his. However, drug offenses in this hypothetical country carry the death penalty, much like in so many other nations in that region. Ankur is quickly tried, found guilty, and given an electric chair sentence. He is sent to a high-security island prison off the coast, where the malevolent warden—played well by Vivek Gomber—torments him physically and psychologically. You should get a sense of the type of person the warden is from his humorous name, Hansraj Landa. Sadly, Ankur, who is portrayed by the youthful Vedang Raina,

The Union Budget 2024 may see the government loosen the 45-day payment restriction for MSMEs.
According to insiders, the government may decide to loosen the rule requiring MSMEs to be paid for goods and services within 45 days of the purchase in order to deter big corporations from exploring alternative sources of funding This could be announced in the budget, which is expected to be delivered on July 23.Overview. The government is thinking about easing the 45-day payment deadline for MSMEs in an effort to keep big businesses from looking for alternative suppliers. It is possible that this modification to Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act would be disclosed in the forthcoming July 23 Budget. As per the Finance Act 2023's introduction of Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act, a larger company may face greater taxes if it fails to pay an MSME within the stipulated timeframe of 45 days for written agreements. This is because the firm cannot deduct the payment from its taxable income.The amendment was introduced to allow MSMEs to receive payments on time, but many of them expressed fear, according to sources. They said they were afraid that large corporations might ask their vendors to give up their MSME registration in order to do business with them, or they might shift their sourcing requirements to larger firms in an effort to protect their interests.

Art and Culture with Devdutt Pattanaik - An intriguing look into India's coin history
What was the composition of punch-marked coins, called Karshapanas? What can we learn about kings and their reigns from the inscriptions and imagery on coins?(The Indian Express introduces a new series of articles on topics and ideas including history, politics, international relations, art, culture, and heritage, environment, geography, science, and technology, among other subjects, that are authored by experienced writers and learned academics for UPSC candidates. Increase your chances of passing the highly sought-after UPSC CSE by reading and discussing with subject matter experts. The acclaimed author Devdutt Pattanaik, who specializes in mythology and culture, gives a compelling history of currencies in India in the piece that follows.)Humans have traded to enable exchange ever since the dawn of civilizations. Debt recording allows transactions to occur even in the absence of coins. Actually, a key factor in the production of coins was debt, or rinn, as the word appears in the Rig Veda.Although there is no proof of coinage in Harappa, cowrie shells that could have been used as money have been discovered. Consider the Hindi proverb, "Ek phooti kaudi nahin doonga" (I won't donate a single cent), which states that one cowrie shell (four phooti kaudi, or fractured cowrie shells) equals one penny. Even still, necklaces made of cowrie shells are worn by women at temples. It suggests that cowrie shells were once used as money for trade, much like gold coins, which some ladies also wear around their necks. Cowrie shells, which originated in the Maldives, were traded for money in Africa and India up until the Portuguese disrupted the system in the sixteenth century.Other than cowrie shells, numerous items were used as money by humans in different parts of the world.

Sourav Ganguly feels the impact player for the IPL should be disclosed at toss.
Saurav Ganguly, the director of cricket for the Delhi Capitals, speaks to the media on March 27, 2024, the Wednesday before the IPL 2024 T20 cricket match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.Sourav Ganguly, the director of cricket for the Delhi Capitals and a former captain of India, supports keeping the impact-player rule in place for the Indian Premier League but prefers that teams make their own decisions at the toss.The impact-player rule has gained a lot of attention in the wake of the recent IPL season, in which eight teams scored more than 250 runs. The impact player rule appeals to me. The only issue I have with the IPL is that I wish the grounds were a little bit larger. On the fringes of the Blue Ocean Corporation's International Procurement and Supply Chain Conference, Ganguly told the journalists, "The fences should go a little behind."It's a fantastic competition. With the impact player, your sole option is to make your decision prior to the toss, thus some skill is required there."So, disclose the impact player beforehand since it would need a lot of talent and strategy. But as for the impact player, I am all for it," the former captain of India stated. Ganguly supported Prithvi Shaw, who had a poor IPL season this year, pointing out that he is still a young player still getting used to the shorter format. "Prithvi Shaw is a small child. He's only twenty-three. He's still getting the hang of T20 cricket. He has a great deal of skill and will only grow better. Sometimes we ask too much of people too soon, and I'm confident Prithvi will succeed given his skill set," he continued.

BJP MP Dilip Ghosh courts controversy with identify her own father jibe against Mamata Banerjee, TMC fumes
BJP MP Dilip Ghosh has courted controversy with his offensive remarks against West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee. Ghosh, in a personal attack, asked Banerjee to ‘identify her own father’.In a video that went viral, Ghosh is seen saying that ‘didi’ calls herself the daughter of whichever state she visits. When Didi (CM Mamata Banerjee) goes to Goa, she calls herself daughter of Goa. When she goes to Tripura, she says that she is the daughter of Tripura. She should first identify her own father," he said. TMC has filed a complaint with the West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer against Ghosh for "passing derogatory and offensive comment personally attacking Mamata Banerjee, thereby violating Model Code of Conduct (MCC)" To this, the TMC said that Ghosh has ‘zero respect for women of Bengal’ and called him a disgrace ‘in the name of political leadership’. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the office handle of Trinamool Congress posted the video of Ghosh and wrote: “Dilip Ghosh is a disgrace in the name of political leadership! From challenging the lineage of Maa Durga to now questioning the ancestry of Smt. Mamata Banerjee, he has wallowed in the filthiest depths of moral bankruptcy." “One thing is crystal clear: Ghosh has ZERO RESPECT for the women of Bengal, whether it be the revered goddess of Hinduism or the only woman Chief Minister of India," the post added.Dilip Ghosh is frustrated. The kind of statements that he has made against Mamata Banerjee - that she should first give an identity of her father - has never before been heard against a woman in this country," she said. Dev also contested that the ‘kind of statements’ that the BJP is making against the West Bengal CM, is against the politics and traditions of India. “For the past two days, the leaders of BJP have been giving long speeches against the insult of one of their women candidates. But the kind of statements BJP is issuing against the only woman CM of this country is against the politics and traditions of this country. BJP is frustrated in Bengal. It is losing. The more the BJP insults Mamata Banerjee, the more people will be with her." Slamming Ghosh for his remarks against Banerjee, the TMC leader claimed that his ‘filthy thinking’ is that of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). “I would like to tell Dilip Ghosh that we know where this filthy thinking of yours against women comes from. This is RSS' thinking - that which is against women..." She also called the National Commission for Women (NCW) ‘hypocrite’ for being silent when the BJP insults Mamata Banerjee. "The respect that the people of Bengal give Mamata Didi, she is considered the daughter of the country. You are insulting her again and again, and you get a befitting reply of this in 2024. I would like to tell the BJP leaders and NCW chief - you are so concerned about the woman candidate of BJP but people like you should be ashamed that whenever Mamata Didi is insulted by the BJP, you stay silent. This is your hypocrisy. Country would give you a reply for the same."

Arvind Kejriwal arrested ahead of Lok Sabha, assembly elections: 5 key challenges before AAP in Delhi
The arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has prompted many to demand his resignation from the post. Kejriwal is also the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) national convenor. His arrest in connection with the money laundering case linked to the excise policy has already raised questions about the party's next leadership. Now, if he steps down as the chief minister, the crisis will grip Delhi's governance as well. Although AAP leaders say that there will be "no problems in running the (Delhi) government from jail," legal experts beg to differ. Moreover, the Lok Sabha elections 2024 are around the corner. The AAP will be contesting the polls in alliance with the Congress in Delhi, Haryana, Gujarat, Chandigarh and Goa. Kejriwal's party is also part of the Opposition's INDIA bloc.AAP leader Sandeep Pathak has said he doesn't think there'll be any difficulty in running the government from jail. However, Sunil Gupta, a former law officer from Delhi's Tihar jail, told NDTV that running a government from jail is not that easy. He said a chief minister has to attend several meetings with officers and governors and has to visit people at times. However, "the jail manual says that a prisoner can meet his family, friends or anyone just twice a week", he said. This makes the process difficult. Keeping this situation in view, Gupta suggested an easier way to run the government while remaining in custody/jail. Citing jail rules, he said that any area can be declared a jail. It can be a house or even a stadium. The power is in the hands of the Lieutenant Governor (Vinai Kumar Saxena) to declare any building a jail. Now, the question is — will the authorities allow this to happen? VK Saxena and Kejriwal's government have been at loggerheads on several occasions. It was VK Saxena who recommended a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the Delhi government's excise policy. He had also called for a CBI probe into alleged irregularities involving fake lab tests and 'ghost patients' at Aam Aadmi Mohalla Clinics (AAMCs). The demand for Kejriwal's resignation as the chief minister has grown ever since he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate. In case Kejriwal steps down as the CM, the hunt for the next CM will commence. All the key leaders of the AAP — Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain — are currently in jail in connection with the excise policy case.

Here's how to cut an avocado securely because many people get hurt.
In recent years, avocados, which were once a rather unknown fruit, have become increasingly popular. Unfortunately, a strange kind of injury known as avocado hand has increased in tandem with this surge.Cutting avocados causes cuts and abrasions to thousands of individuals annually. Due of their increased familiarity with these injuries, surgeons have come up with the name "avocado hand" to refer to them. Because the fruit is slippery, individuals frequently lose their hold and cut themselves by accident. Millennials aren't the only generation that loves avocados. In the twenty-first century, the fruit has grown in popularity in the United States. The fruit has gained a reputation as a healthy snack since it is low in sugar and high in good fats, but it also poses a very special risk. Every year, avocados cause around 9,000 ER visits, many of which are due to hand injuries from improper cutting methods, a condition known as "avocado hand." "When individuals cut their avocados for guacamole, they use a sharp paring knife in one hand while holding the avocado in the other. And that paring knife slips as it strikes the avocado's pit.

Pune Test To mimic Jasprit Bumrah's play at the nets, New Zealand hires a throw-down specialist.
Some of the batsmen from New Zealand signaled their throw-down specialist to toss the ball from a more side-arm position halfway through Wednesday's practice session. One of them said, "A little lower, a little lower, that side." However, the muscular specialist's devoted attempts to mimic Jasprit Bumrah's whip-crack action resulted in crazy, wide balls that pitched halfway down the field. The side-arm joke showed that New Zealand batsmen are also afraid of Bumrah, even on a possible turner when India's group of spinners intimidate them. Bumrah hovers and lurks as surely as the cycles of the solar system, regardless of whether the Pune strip unfolds as a turner, semi-turner, or non-turner. His ability to influence the course of the game is impervious to the whims of the weather, the pitch, and the batsmen's reputation. In one creative outburst, Bumrah could mow through batting lineups with the new ball, old ball, semi-old ball, or semi-new ball, and he could change the course of the game to suit his wishes. India will aim to prime and stir their blockbuster seamer in order to recover from the Bengaluru gaffe. On the other hand, Tom Latham and his batting team would be aware of

A 90% loss in earnings is caused by Twitter India's declining ad income.
For the most recent fiscal year, Twitter Communications India, now a division of X Corp (previously known as Twitter), reported a sharp drop in both net profit and sales. According to an Economic Times investigation, this decline is mostly due to a sharp decline in advertising revenue when Elon Musk's new leadership fired the worldwide ad sales team.The company's net profit fell 90% to Rs 3 crore from Rs 30 crore the year before, according to regulatory records. In a similar vein, revenue dropped sharply by 90%, from Rs 208 crore to Rs 21 crore. In India, Twitter's primary revenue source is still advertising. The company responded to these difficulties by cutting employee benefit costs by 95%, from Rs 130 crore to Rs 6 crore, after firing almost all of its staff in India, which once had more than 200 workers. Consequently, overall costs decreased by 89%, from Rs 168 crore to Rs 19 crore.This dramatic drop in revenue has been caused in part by the removal of the ad sales staff and the withdrawal of international businesses from the platform, which is partly the result of continuous conflicts with Musk. Under Musk's direction, X Corp has even taken big marketers like Mars and Unilever to court over their boycott of the platform. According to Kantar research, 26% of marketers intend to reduce their X advertising budgets in 2025, which is the biggest decrease ever seen from any major international ad platform.

Experts offer advice on how to distinguish between authentic and fake paneer.
Paneer is a mainstay in many cuisines because of its flavorful and adaptable qualities. Cottage cheese gives a delicious flavor to any dish, whether it is grilled, fried, or crumbled. Both adults and children adore and enjoy it, making it one of the most widely used vegetarian protein sources. However, is it possible to determine whether the paneer you are eating is tainted? Being able to recognize it is crucial, especially with the development of fake paneer.Shlloka Joshii, a lifestyle expert and instructor of classical hatha yoga, explained how synthetic paneer is manufactured, saying that vendors use water, lime, starch, and milk powder to make it. To give it that deliciously creamy appearance and color, some people even add detergent and palm oil. You are not alone if you frequently find yourself answering inquiries concerning its quality and validity. It takes an acute sense of taste, smell, and sight to distinguish real paneer from imitation. You can tell the difference between the two with confidence by evaluating its texture, color, taste, fragrance, ingredient list, and source.When it comes to paneer, texture really does speak. The texture of real paneer is solid but somewhat crumbly. It should retain its shape when gently pressed between your fingers, but yet give slightly, according to dietitian and certified diabetes educator Dr. Archana Batra. Conversely, fake paneer is typically too mushy or rubbery. Therefore, it could be time to doubt the legitimacy of your paneer if it crumbles at the least touch or feels like a stress ball, Dr. Batra advised.
