Qantas Group Chief Executive Vanessa Hudson said in a statement that Jetstar Asias supplier cost rose by up 200 per cent. In this financial year, it had losses of around 35 million Australian dollars.

Australian airline Qantas said on Wednesday (June 11) it would shut down Jetstar Asia, its Singapore-based budget carrier, by the end of July. After 20 years of operation, the discount airline has been facing supply cost rises, airport fee woes and stiff competition from rivals like AirAsia and Scoot. More than 500 employees will be laid off. The operations will gradually be phased down in the next seven weeks, according to the Qantas announcement. What will happen to passengers who have already booked Jetstar Asia flights? Announcing the closure, Qantas said passengers who had already booked Jetstar Asia flights would be fully refunded. The airline will notify passengers if their flights are impacted, and will contact those with tickets beyond 31 July. Some of the passengers might be given seats on other flights of the Qantas group. Those who booked using travel agents, or via other airlines, were told to contact them directly. What will happen to Jetstar employees? According to reports, the staff will be given redundancy benefits. "Our focus is on supporting them through this process and helping them to find new roles in the industry," said Jetstar Group chief executive Stephanie Tully. The reason for closing Jetstar Asia Qantas Group Chief Executive Vanessa Hudson said in a statement that Jetstar Asia's supplier cost rose by up 200 per cent. In this financial year, it had losses of around 35 million Australian dollars. Quantas, the national airline of Australia, will save some $326 million by shutting down Jetstar Asia, which it can use for renewing its own aircraft fleet. Some 13 planes freed up by the closure will be used in Australia-New Zealand routes. How big is the impact of Jetstar Asia shutting down? The mainly Asian airline had some 16 routes that could be hit by the closure. These routes were between Singapore and Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. Qantas will continue to operate flights in Asia under its Jetstar Airways arm, to countries like Thailand, Indonesia and Japan. The story of Jetstar Asia Jetstar Asia was launched in 2004 and was in operation for more than 20 years. It was known for popularising budget air travel. Customers reacting to its shuttering described the airline as warm and efficient.

Tulsi Gabbard has painted a bleak picture of the world if a nuclear bomb is dropped, adding that warmongers have bunkers to hide in, leaving common people out to die.

Tulsi Gabbard, intelligence chief in Donald Trump's administration, has issued an ominous warning to humanity. She shared a video in which she talked about how the world is standing on the brink of a "nuclear holocaust" because of "political elite and warmongers" who probably have bunkers to safeguard themselves and their families. Gabbard's video on her X account showed her standing in the city of Hiroshima, which was rocked by an atom bomb during World War II. She describes her experience as "haunting" that "will stay with me forever." She recalls the horror stories she heard of the aftermath and how millions of lives were changed forever. The Indian-American then warned that while the bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was "tiny", with a yield of "just 15 kilotons", today's nuclear bombs are humongous, about 100 kilotons to 1 megaton.

<p>Model-turned-TikToker Nara Smith just announced her fourth pregnancy. A popular face on TikTok and Instagram, Nara, 24, revealed on social media that she and her husband, model Lucky Blue Smith, were expecting their fourth baby together.&nbsp;<br><br>The news comes less than a year after the couple publicly said they were finished growing their family after welcoming their third child, a baby girl, in April 2024.&nbsp;<br><br>In an adorable Instagram video posted on June 8, the couple shared the happy news with the caption: “Baby 4 loading...” with a video that showed Nara’s baby bump on full display as the couple embraced outdoors.<br><br>The couple are already parents to three children: daughters Rumble Honey and Whimsy Lou, and son Slim Easy. Lucky also shares a daughter, Gravity, from a previous relationship.<br><br>Ever since the couple announced their fourth pregnancy, fans are eager to find out what quirky name Baby no 4 will have.&nbsp;<br><br>Nara's fourth pregnancy has also created buzz as the couple had announced last year that they were finished growing their family.&nbsp;<br><br>Initially, the couple had plans to be a family of si,x but soon after the birth of Whimsy Lou, the couple had famoulsy announced that they were done growing their family.&nbsp;<br><br>In an interview, Lucky even joked that “having toddlers is the best birth control.”</p><h2>Who is Nara Smith?<br>&nbsp;</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br>Born to a South African mother and a German father, Nara grew up in Germany with two other siblings. She started modelling at the age of 14. She continued with her career after moving to California from Europe at the age of 18.&nbsp;<br><br>Nara said in her TikTok that she met Lucky through her modelling career when she first moved to Los Angeles, and after six months, the two got married on Feb. 21, 2020.<br><br>“the boy who stole my heart... I married my best friend today,” Nara captioned an Instagram video of herself jumping into Lucky’s arms as he swung her around on their wedding day.<br><br>On her wedding day, she wore a satin ivory Orseund Iris gown that featured long sleeves, a high neckline and a cutout at the chest and back. Lucky wore a baby blue suit with a darker blue tie.</p><h2>Nara and Lucky's growing family</h2><p>The couple welcomed their first child, Rumble Honey in October 2020. Their second child, a son named Slim Easy, came just over a year later on Jan. 6, 2022. In December 2023, the couple announced they were expecting their third child.<br><br>“volume 3 coming next year 🤍,” they wrote in a joint post on Instagram of Nara debuting her baby bump.<br><br>In the weeks after her announcement, the model hosted an Instagram Q&amp;A where her followers asked her questions on everything, ranging from her choice to have home births to her decision to have another child.<br><br>She shared that while she was originally “adamant” about not having any more babies, she ultimately changed her mind. She had earlier mentioned that she wanted to be a young mother.&nbsp;<br>“I know that 22 is considered young nowadays, to be having kids, but I love being a young mom and growing with my kids,” she had written once on social media, addressing questions about being a young mum. “I never feel like I’m ‘missing out’ or not ‘living life’ like a girl in her 20s.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Everyone’s concept of what they want in life is unique to them and I wouldn’t change my journey at all."&nbsp;<br><br>The model has also sparked discussions online thanks to a popular video on TikTok, which projects her as a traditional stay-at-home mom, who spends hours cooking from scratch, managing household duties and promoting a homemaker's lifestyle.&nbsp;<br><br>While many admire her skill and devotion and the aesthetics of her videos, &nbsp;there are others who question the accessibility of this lifestyle, especially for moms juggling careers, busy schedules, or limited resources.<br>&nbsp;</p><h2>Cooks from a scratch</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nara initially wanted to be a marine biologist, but said her plans 'shifted' eventually as she now focuses on cooking and social media.&nbsp;<br><br>She has 4.6 million followers (and counting) on social media. Her typical cooking videos will grab your attention for the aesthetics, and she's cooking an elaborate meal from scratch. One would mostly find her dressed impeccably as she makes meals from scratch. A regular meatball and spaghetti dinner would involve making the spaghetti on her own instead of store-bought, along with creating the perfect sauce to accompany the meatballs.&nbsp;</p><p><br>In one March 2024 video, she shared how her children were craving cereal, so she made Cinnamon Toast Crunch from scratch. In another February 2024 post, Nara made homemade bagels and cream cheese to commemorate her and Lucky’s fourth wedding anniversary.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>After receiving hateful comments, Nara gave a disclaimer at the start of one of her videos that she enjoys cooking for others and that she isn’t expected to do it.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>“I just want to put a disclaimer out there that I enjoy taking care of people by cooking for them,” she said. “This is not something that is expected of me or something that I have to do.”</p>

Lucky also shares a daughter, Gravity, from a previous relationship.<br><br>Ever since the couple announced their fourth pregnancy, fans are eager to find out what quirky name Baby no 4 will have.&nbsp;<br><br>Nara's fourth pregnancy has also created buzz as the couple had announced last year that they were finished growing their family.&nbsp;<br><br>Initially, the couple had plans to be a family of si,x but soon after the birth of Whimsy Lou, the couple had famoulsy announced that they were done growing their family.&nbsp;<br><br>In an interview, Lucky even joked that “having toddlers is the best birth control.”</p><h2>Who is Nara Smith?<br>&nbsp;</h2><p>Born to a South African mother and a German father, Nara grew up in Germany with two other siblings. She started modelling at the age of 14. She continued with her career after moving to California from Europe at the age of 18.&nbsp;<br><br>Nara said in her TikTok that she met Lucky through her modelling career when she first moved to Los Angeles, and after six months, the two got married on Feb. 21, 2020.<br><br>“the boy who stole my heart... I married my best friend today,” Nara captioned an Instagram video of herself jumping into Lucky’s arms as he swung her around on their wedding day.<br><br>On her wedding day, she wore a satin ivory Orseund Iris gown that featured long sleeves, a high neckline and a cutout at the chest and back. Lucky wore a baby blue suit with a darker blue tie.</p><h2>Nara and Lucky's growing family</h2><p>The couple welcomed their first child, Rumble Honey in October 2020. Their second child, a son named Slim Easy, came just over a year later on Jan. 6, 2022. In December 2023, the couple announced they were expecting their third child.<br><br>“volume 3 coming next year 🤍,” they wrote in a joint post on Instagram of Nara debuting her baby bump.<br><br>In the weeks after her announcement, the model hosted an Instagram Q&amp;A where her followers asked her questions on everything, ranging from her choice to have home births to her decision to have another child.<br><br>She shared that while she was originally “adamant” about not having any more babies, she ultimately changed her mind. She had earlier mentioned that she wanted to be a young mother.&nbsp;<br>“I know that 22 is considered young nowadays, to be having kids, but I love being a young mom and growing with my kids,” she had written once on social media, addressing questions about being a young mum. “I never feel like I’m ‘missing out’ or not ‘living life’ like a girl in her 20s.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Everyone’s concept of what they want in life is unique to them and I wouldn’t change my journey at all."&nbsp;<br><br>The model has also sparked discussions online thanks to a popular video on TikTok, which projects her as a traditional stay-at-home mom, who spends hours cooking from scratch, managing household duties and promoting a homemaker's lifestyle.&nbsp;<br><br>While many admire her skill and devotion and the aesthetics of her videos, &nbsp;there are others who question the accessibility of this lifestyle, especially for moms juggling careers, busy schedules, or limited resources.<br>&nbsp;</p><h2>Cooks from a scratch</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nara initially wanted to be a marine biologist, but said her plans 'shifted' eventually as she now focuses on cooking and social media.&nbsp;<br><br>She has 4.6 million followers (and counting) on social media. Her typical cooking videos will grab your attention for the aesthetics, and she's cooking an elaborate meal from scratch. One would mostly find her dressed impeccably as she makes meals from scratch. A regular meatball and spaghetti dinner would involve making the spaghetti on her own instead of store-bought, along with creating the perfect sauce to accompany the meatballs.&nbsp;</p>

Model-turned-TikToker Nara Smith just announced her fourth pregnancy. A popular face on TikTok and Instagram, Nara, 24, revealed on social media that she and her husband, model Lucky Blue Smith, were expecting their fourth baby together. The news comes less than a year after the couple publicly said they were finished growing their family after welcoming their third child, a baby girl, in April 2024. In an adorable Instagram video posted on June 8, the couple shared the happy news with the caption: “Baby 4 loading...” with a video that showed Nara’s baby bump on full display as the couple embraced outdoors. The couple are already parents to three children: daughters Rumble Honey and Whimsy Lou, and son Slim Easy. Lucky also shares a daughter, Gravity, from a previous relationship. Ever since the couple announced their fourth pregnancy, fans are eager to find out what quirky name Baby no 4 will have. Nara's fourth pregnancy has also created buzz as the couple had announced last year that they were finished growing their family. Initially, the couple had plans to be a family of si,x but soon after the birth of Whimsy Lou, the couple had famoulsy announced that they were done growing their family. In an interview, Lucky even joked that “having toddlers is the best birth control.” Who is Nara Smith? Born to a South African mother and a German father, Nara grew up in Germany with two other siblings. She started modelling at the age of 14. She continued with her career after moving to California from Europe at the age of 18. Nara said in her TikTok that she met Lucky through her modelling career when she first moved to Los Angeles, and after six months, the two got married on Feb. 21, 2020. “the boy who stole my heart... I married my best friend today,” Nara captioned an Instagram video of herself jumping into Lucky’s arms as he swung her around on their wedding day. On her wedding day, she wore a satin ivory Orseund Iris gown that featured long sleeves, a high neckline and a cutout at the chest and back. Lucky wore a baby blue suit with a darker blue tie. Nara and Lucky's growing family The couple welcomed their first child, Rumble Honey in October 2020. Their second child, a son named Slim Easy, came just over a year later on Jan. 6, 2022. In December 2023, the couple announced they were expecting their third child. “volume 3 coming next year 🤍,” they wrote in a joint post on Instagram of Nara debuting her baby bump. In the weeks after her announcement, the model hosted an Instagram Q&A where her followers asked her questions on everything, ranging from her choice to have home births to her decision to have another child. She shared that while she was originally “adamant” about not having any more babies, she ultimately changed her mind. She had earlier mentioned that she wanted to be a young mother. “I know that 22 is considered young nowadays, to be having kids, but I love being a young mom and growing with my kids,” she had written once on social media, addressing questions about being a young mum. “I never feel like I’m ‘missing out’ or not ‘living life’ like a girl in her 20s. Everyone’s concept of what they want in life is unique to them and I wouldn’t change my journey at all." The model has also sparked discussions online thanks to a popular video on TikTok, which projects her as a traditional stay-at-home mom, who spends hours cooking from scratch, managing household duties and promoting a homemaker's lifestyle. While many admire her skill and devotion and the aesthetics of her videos, there are others who question the accessibility of this lifestyle, especially for moms juggling careers, busy schedules, or limited resources. Cooks from a scratch Nara initially wanted to be a marine biologist, but said her plans 'shifted' eventually as she now focuses on cooking and social media. She has 4.6 million followers (and counting) on social media. Her typical cooking videos will grab your attention for the aesthetics, and she's cooking an elaborate meal from scratch. One would mostly find her dressed impeccably as she makes meals from scratch. A regular meatball and spaghetti dinner would involve making the spaghetti on her own instead of store-bought, along with creating the perfect sauce to accompany the meatballs. In one March 2024 video, she shared how her children were craving cereal, so she made Cinnamon Toast Crunch from scratch. In another February 2024 post, Nara made homemade bagels and cream cheese to commemorate her and Lucky’s fourth wedding anniversary. After receiving hateful comments, Nara gave a disclaimer at the start of one of her videos that she enjoys cooking for others and that she isn’t expected to do it. “I just want to put a disclaimer out there that I enjoy taking care of people by cooking for them,” she said. “This is not something that is expected of me or something that I have to do.”

<p>The mysterious sphere that was recovered in Colombia in March this year has thrown some strange surprises. A team of scientists carried out microscopic scans on the object, also known as the Buga Sphere, and found a maze of fibre-optic wires. They think the presence of these wires means that the sphere can send and receive signals.</p><p>The UFO was seen zig-zagging over Buga on March 2, in a way that doesn't fit anything seen in a conventional aircraft. Scientists took possession of the object and have been studying it since. Researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) have found some weird things in the sphere.</p><p>The team says the sphere has a central nucleus, being referred to as "a chip.' It has three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding the nucleus.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/warmongers-will-hide-in-bunkers-as-the-world-burns-from-a-nuclear-holocaust-tulsi-gabbard-issues-chilling-warning-1749613126713"><strong>Warmongers will hide in 'bunkers' as the world burns from a 'nuclear holocaust', Tulsi Gabbard issues chilling warning</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They further noted that the place where the Buga sphere fell mysteriously dried up, killing all the grass and soil around it.

Buga sphere: The team says the sphere has a central nucleus, being referred to as “a chip.” It has three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding the nucleus.

The mysterious sphere that was recovered in Colombia in March this year has thrown some strange surprises. A team of scientists carried out microscopic scans on the object, also known as the Buga Sphere, and found a maze of fibre-optic wires. They think the presence of these wires means that the sphere can send and receive signals. The UFO was seen zig-zagging over Buga on March 2, in a way that doesn't fit anything seen in a conventional aircraft. Scientists took possession of the object and have been studying it since. Researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) have found some weird things in the sphere. The team says the sphere has a central nucleus, being referred to as "a chip.' It has three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding the nucleus.

Amid the sharp focus on Los Angeles protests, here is a look at the economic importance of California for the US.



US President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard into Los Angeles to end the ongoing violent protests against his immigration crackdown. This has pitted the western California state, of which LA is the largest city, against the federal government. California is the richest state in the US and cannot be antagonised by any federal government. Its economy is bigger than several US states combined, and surpasses the economies of even some countries. Amid the sharp focus on Los Angeles protests, here is a look at the economic importance of California for the US. California’s economy is the biggest in the US The nominal GDP of California for 2024 was $4.103 trillion, making it the largest economy among the US states. This is in fact nearly the combined GDP of the next few states' GDP: Texas is at $2.6 tn, New York at $2 tn and Florida at $1.6 tn, according to recent available data. This means that the rich western state accounts for more than 14 per cent of the total GDP of the US. Having achieved this with only 12 per cent of the national population, California continues to hold a disproportionate economic might in the US. California's economy is bigger than some countries' It is a well-known fact that if California were a country, it would be the fourth-largest economy in the world, just behind the US ($29.18 tn), China ($18.74 tn), and Germany ($4.65 tn). Its economy would be ahead of Japan and India too. The per capita GDP of California, estimated to be around $85,340, surpasses that of most large economies. From tech industry to Hollywood and everything in between: What powers California's economy? The state is home to the tech mecca of Silicon Valley in the north, and the entertainment industry hub of Hollywood in the south. These and other high-revenue industries are the reason behind its wealth. Most of the world's top tech companies are headquartered in California, including Google parent Alphabet, Apple, Facebook parent Meta, IBM, Intel and Nvidia. As per figures from 2023, the technology industry attracted $134 billion in venture capital, which was the highest in the US at the time. A powerhouse of agriculture California is also home to the largest agriculture industry in the US, with exports estimated at $24.3 billion in 2023. Its key farm exports include almonds and dairy products. California leads the US in some of the key agricultural produce, including half of its fruits, vegetables and nuts, as well as more than 80 per cent of strawberries. Hollywood to electric cars: A diversified economy The Hollywood-led entertainment industry generates anywhere north of $150 billion every year. California is also a global tourism magnet, attracting revenues of $150.4 bn in 2023. Heavy industries and manufacturing are also key to California's economic prowess. These included aerospace and electric vehicles. Ports in California handle some 38 per cent of US imports. A giant among US states As already mentioned, the GDP of California dominates over the next few states. It is double that of New York, and more than half of Texas. Once home to America's oil boom, California shines in both traditional industries like agriculture, emission-free vehicles, technology and entertainment. California is home to 78 of Fortune 100 companies and 337 of Fortune 500 companies, which is the highest for any state. But it is not all fine for Californians, and LA violence may be a result of that But in spite of all these, California still reels under economic inequality, high living costs, and endemic homelessness. The LA protests are partially a result of economic disparities in the western state. Many of those taking part in the protests are also angry at the rich-poor divide in the city.

Starlink satellites are becoming a problem for scientists studying deep space as telescopes are unable to pick up faint radio signals coming from deep space, from the time the first stars were born.

Starlink satellites in orbit are becoming a hurdle to space exploration, reports suggest. SpaceX has thousands of satellites hovering above the planet, and they are reportedly leaking radio waves that are preventing telescopes from peering into the early universe, New Scientist reported. These telescopes are extremely sensitive and detect faint signals from deep space from the time the first stars formed. A team of scientists in Australia looked at 2,000 Starlink satellites and found that the signals emitted by them could affect up to a third of the data at some frequencies collected by a telescope that is under construction. They also discovered that the Starlink satellites are using two frequency ranges that are protected for radio astronomy.

JPMorgan Chase has warned new employees that they will be fired if they accept a new job offer in the first 18 months. Social media users were stunned to see the strange “welcome letter”.

JPMorgan Chase has issued a strange mandate to new employees, telling them that if they accept an offer with another company in the first 18 months of their employment, they will be fired. The investment banking firm sent an email to the new joining analysts, in which CEO Jamie Dimon warned them that "accepting future-dated job offers with another company before joining us or within your first 18 months", will lead to a "notice and your employment with the firm will end," Fortune’s Eleanor Pringle reported. The email starts by telling them that because of the "reduction in their analyst program" to 2.5 years, "new joinees can avail quicker opportunities within the firm." It further tells them that to succeed in the program, their "full attention and participation are essential. Attendance at all training sessions, meetings and obligations is required." "Missing any part of the training program may lead to removal from the program and termination." The email goes on to talk about their search for a new job, which should be "done on your own time and should not interfere with your responsibilities."

Newsom is being seen as a potential Democratic contender for president in 2028. His governorship cannot be extended due to term limitations, and the next logical political step for him would be to fight for the White House. But the road could not be that easy. 



Gavin Newsom, the California governor, on Monday (June 9) called on his peers across states to rally against Donald Trump, who ordered the National Guard troops into the western state to quell the protests in Los Angeles against the immigration policies of the Republican US president. Newsom also said California is suing the Trump administration. The violence in California has brought sharp focus on its governor, who could be the Democratic contender for president in 2028. So it is important to know more about his life and political career. Here is what you should know about Gavin Newsom. Who is Gavin Newsom? Gavin Christopher Newsom, the Democratic governor of California, was born on 10 October 1967 in San Francisco in a politically connected family. Born to William Newsom, who was a judge in the California appeals court, Gavin graduated in political science from Santa Clara University in 1989. Gavin Newsom, the businessman Newsom is a businessman, helming the multi-million dollar PlumpJack group. He founded the winery and hospitality company with investor Gordon Getty. Political career of Gavin Newsom from mayor to Governor Gavin Newsom was appointed to San Francisco Parking and Traffic Commission in 1996, thus starting his political career. The next year, he was elected to the Board of Supervisors. Newsom's big break came in 2003, when he was elected the mayor of San Fransico, a post he went on to serve till 2011. Between 2011 and 2019, Newsom served as the lieutenant governor of California, the state's second-in-command. He went on to be elected the 40th governor of California and was re-elected in 2022. Gavin Newsom is a progressive amid a conservative political landscape In his political roles, and mainly as the governor, Newsom introduced pro-people policies like expanding healthcare access, including Medi-Cal facilities to undocumented immigrants. Newsom is known for being a progressive, often standing for policies to address the climate crisis, and reforming housing. In 2019, he announced a death penalty moratorium in the state. Under his governorship, California saw laws that curbed police powers to use force. Facing domestic challenges: California under Newsom However, under Newsom, it has not been all bright sunshine for California. The richest state of the US has been facing budget deficits, an increase in crime rate, and homelessness, which has been endemic for decades. California's homeless population rose by nearly 32 per cent in the 2007-2022 period in spite of some $24 billion spent on addressing the issue. He faced criticism during the COVID pandemic, over strict lockdowns and mask mandates that had damaged the state's economy. In 2021, Newsom faced a recall attempt after attending a 2020 French Laundry dinner, violating his own guidelines. The recall didn't succeed. There are allegations of unemployment fraud and mismanagement of homelessness funds in Newsom's California, in which billions were paid to undeserving individuals. The wildfires in California exposed the lack of disaster preparedness under Newsom, in spite of his rhetoric and policies to address the climate crisis. Colourful personal life: Affair that went public A tall and handsome man who appears in prim suits with hair slicked back, Newsom also faced several scandals in the past. The most prominent was the alleged affair with his campaign manager's wife when he was mayor. The affair first came to light in 2007 and has often been raked up in later years. Will Gavin Newsom be a presidential contender? Yes. Newsom is being seen as a potential Democratic contender for president in 2028. His governorship cannot be extended due to term limitations, and the next logical political step for him would be to fight for the White House. But the road could not be that easy. First, he has to contend with the residual ambitions of Kamala Harris, who lost to Trump in 2024. Then there are issues related to California's economy and social issues. In a charged environment where Trump has made immigration the most polarising issue, it would be difficult for Newsom to take a pro-migration stance on the national stage. He will also need the approval of Democratic elders. Californians have not won presidential elections for a long time, Harris being the last one to lose. So it remains to be seen if Gavin Newsom would be able to charm the Democratic base in the primaries, in case he joins the race.

In a first of its kind in India, Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Sambalpur, has become the first business school in India to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the classroom as a faculty member. The institute recently concluded its experimental phase of AI-powered teaching and has released its first feedback report, evaluating the success of this groundbreaking initiative. IIM Sambalpur has partnered with Breakout Learning Inc. to implement AI-driven digital case study solutions (After Harvard, IIM Sambalpur is the first Indian Institute to do so). This AI implementation aims to position India as a leader in technology-driven management education. While leading global institutions like Harvard have integrated AI into their pedagogy, IIM Sambalpur has taken a pioneering step by fully implementing AI-powered teaching, setting a new benchmark in AI-driven education. In an exclusive interview with WION, IIM Sambalpur's director, Professor Mahadeo Jaiswal spoke about AI integration. Excerpts from the interview: How has IIM Sambalpur's integration of AI into classroom learning contributed to improving student engagement and understanding, compared to traditional case-based methods? To be in line with international learning standards like what is followed in Harvard Business School, IIM Sambalpur has taken a cue to upgrade traditional case-based methods with inclusion of AI into the learning methodology. The use of AI as part of classroom learning at IIM Sambalpur has significantly changed how students engage and participate in learning in their respective academic programs. This innovative approach has generated a more effective type of engagement and produced a structure around student learning. Through the help of AI, students now engage with the study material through AI-powered simulations, real-time data analysis and smart feedback systems. Through this adaptive learning initiative, students come prepared in advance for deeper classroom discussions by providing pre-class materials such as case studies, articles, and videos. The conduct of real-time quizzes and evaluations by AI ensures that every student remains engaged and accountable in class discussions. It is making the learning process more interactive and dynamic for every individual, especially with instant feedback showing a noticeable improvement in students’ preparation, with precise and objective assessment of their contribution during class discussions. What are the key takeaways from the AI-generated feedback report, and how do these insights help in personalising learning experiences for students at IIM Sambalpur? The feedback report after the activation of IIM Sambalpur’s pilot project demonstrates how well AI integration into learning methodologies can improve individualized learning experiences. Approximately 304 of first and second-year students from five different courses participated in the pilot project, which included cases like Toyota's "A Waste-Free Way to Work" and the specially designed “REDBUS” case. After the AI integration, IIM Sambalpur is now competing on global standards in learning. AI-Powered MBA/PhD is helps students to identify individual learning patterns, allowing them to learn and progress at their own pace and focus on weak areas. AI also provides personalised learning material to students, helping them to understand the subject based on their understanding. Additionally, AI tools helps in solving business problems, equipping students with hands-on skills for ever-evolving future. It also helps faculty to tailor topics and lessons, track students’ progress and lead interactive discussions with deep insights. In what ways do the digital case studies, especially those developed in collaboration with Breakout Learning Inc., set IIM Sambalpur apart from global leaders like Harvard in the use of AI for management education? Although Harvard Business School is a thought leader in AI-related research and curriculum development, and is well-known throughout the world for its century-old case method, its application of AI remains primarily focused on academic research and strategic business applications rather than classroom instruction. In contrast, IIM Sambalpur has made a pioneering shift by creating a data-driven, AI-personalized learning ecosystem that transcends conventional case-based instruction, creating the digital case studies. IIM Sambalpur has directly incorporated AI into the teaching-learning process through its partnership with Breakout Learning Inc, which is a pioneering shift that sets it apart from global leaders like Harvard Business School (HBS). The newer IIM assesses cognitive performance using Bloom's Taxonomy and uses AI to track individual student engagement metrics like camera-off time, quiz scores, and session attendance. This guarantees quantifiable understanding, application, and creativity in addition to participation. IIM Sambalpur is spearheading a technological revolution by integrating AI into the case method to quantify learning, customize feedback, and localize content for more successful, inclusive management education. Unlike traditional classroom cases, such as those at Harvard, this automated, real-time categorization enables immediate pedagogical interventions. Moreover, IIM Sambalpur has specially tailored a case called the REDBUS case for Indian business contexts by fusing local relevance and customization with global case methodology. Such specially tailored cases helps students more relatable and promotes contextual innovation, which is especially important in developing nations. What recommendations does the feedback report suggest for the future implementation of AI in classrooms to address technical challenges and enhance personalized learning experiences? To enhance the future use of AI in academic contexts, particularly in addressing technical issues and creating individualized learning experiences, the IIM Sambalpur feedback report (2023) has the following recommendations. Fix minor technical issues: The report acknowledges very minor technical issues that arose even though most students reported a seamless experience. To ensure students can participate in a seamless fashion and limit interruptions, the report recommends enhancing technical infrastructure and providing a tech check or tutorials before the start of the session. Create more learning personalisation: The report concluded that future AI integration had to include greater personalization in order to meet a wide variety of learning needs and preferences. This suggested the improved adaptive feedback systems based on the behavior, performance, and engagement data of every student throughout the course of the sessions. The report also suggested the rubrics be tailored to be more dynamic and case-specific so that faculty can derive assessments based on multiple learning outcomes and industry scenarios, particularly as the AI uses rubrics to assess understanding. Provide familiarity and training for faculty: Faculty development programs were indicated or implied so that the full potential of the AI system could be realized. The impact of the classroom will be increased if teachers are prepared to analyze AI-generated insights and apply them to modify their pedagogical approaches.

The long-held belief of vegetarians being peace-loving, gentle, and kind-hearted idealists is just a myth and no longer holds true, says a new research. The findings of the study further suggest that vegetarians aren’t just interested in protecting the planet—they’re also eager to take charge of it. Vegetarians possess a stronger yearning to wield power than their meat-eating counterparts. They also value social status more and are less inclined to hold dear virtues like kindness and conformity. The variance in the attitude of meat eaters and non-meat eaters was relatively small, but Professor John Nezlek of SWPS University in Warsaw, who led the study, stresses that the findings are important since they dispute the outdated 1970s stereotype of vegetarians being gentle, tofu-eating pacifists. Rather, compared to their meat-eating counterparts, they were more inclined to embrace values traditionally associated with masculinity. “There’s this long association between meat and masculinity. It’s far more common for women to adopt vegetarianism than men, and there are three main reasons that people become vegetarians: health, the environment and animal welfare ethics,” said Nezlek. “When you pile all of that together, you might start to think that vegetarians would be more benevolent, a little less assertive, generally more ‘huggy’ people — but I found the complete opposite.” The study surveyed the values of over 3,500 adults from the United States and Poland, including around 800 vegetarians. Participants were shown brief profiles of fictional characters, accompanied by statements like, “Being very successful is important to him. He likes to impress other people.” When they were asked, “Do you see yourself in that person?”, they responded on a scale from one (they are not like me at all) to six (they are very much like me). In both the countries, the vegetarians were aligning themselves more with values linked to power, indicating the desire for control over people and resources. They also exhibited traits signifying higher levels of personal ambition and a stronger appetite for “excitement, novelty, and challenge in life”. In sharp contrast, meat eaters tended to prioritise values like benevolence (caring for loved ones), security (safety and societal stability), conformity (avoiding conflict), and tradition (honouring established norms). However, the study, published in the journal PLOS One, did not find a big variation in the personal values of vegetarians and meat eaters, and the average difference between them was just “small to moderate”. “These are small differences, but small effects can have large outcomes over time and accumulatively,” Nezlek said, while believing that the results reflect how vegetarians have historically felt like a “besieged minority” in Western societies. “If you look at it through that lens, it starts to make sense: to maintain a vegetarian diet, a certain psychological toughness might be required,” he said.

Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa has recently praised his wife Latifa al-Droubi, saying she has been a pillar of support when his resistance forces fought against the regime of ousted president Bashar al-Assad for over a decade. Al-Sharaa, who has made several high-profile public appearances with his wife during his state visits, has revealed in recent interviews that the couple had lived in remote mountains and caves, and frequently changed residences due to the political turmoil in Syria. Latifa lived in caves, shelters, chicken coops Latifa "lived with me in 49 different homes and followed me from caves to shelters, even chicken coops," said al-Sharaa, who assumed office as transitional president of Syria after the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024. Latifa's appearances, after being hidden from public view till a few months ago, raised a significant public interest in her. Here is what you should know about Latifa al-Droubi. Who is Latifa al-Droubi, Syrian First Lady? Born in 1984 in Al-Qaryatayn, a rural town in Syria's Homs governorate, Latifa comes from a politically well-known family of Syria. The mother of three sons has a master's degree in Arabic language and literature. Hailing from an influential family Latifa comes from the influential al-Droubi family, whose political history can be traced back to the Ottoman Empire era. One of Latifa's ancestors was Alaa Al-Din Al-Droubi, according to Turkish media reports. He was Syria’s second prime minister in 1920 under King Faisal I, but had only a month's stint before being assassinated. Latifa is also reportedly a relative of the Syrian Islamic scholar Sheikh Abdul Ghafar Al-Droubi. How Latifa and al-Shaara met According to reports, Latifa and her future husband, al-Sharaa, met while both were Damascus University students. They married in 2012, just a year into the Syrian civil war, and from then on, she led a low-profile life. According to al-Shaara, he often asked her to move to safer places, but she refused. Observers have pointed out that al-Shaara is taking his wife to high-profile state visits like those in Saudi Arabia and Turkey as he wants to project a more moderate image of his transitional government.
