As the United States heads into a decisive phase in its presidential election, <keyword id="19954681" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sundar-Pichai" source="keywords">Sundar Pichai</keyword>, CEO of Alphabet and <keyword id="19902762" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="google" source="keywords">Google</keyword>, has called on employees to ensure the company maintains its reputation as a reliable information provider. In an internal memo, as per an IANS report, <keyword id="20234972" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="pichai" source="keywords">Pichai</keyword> underscored Google’s critical role during this period, saying it is essential for “the products they build” to be a trusted source for people of all backgrounds. "Let’s remember the role we play at work, through the products we build and as a business: to be a trusted source of information to people of every background and belief," he said in the memo. The <keyword id="20239922" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Google-CEO" source="keywords">Google CEO</keyword> also reportedly reminded employees to adhere strictly to Google’s Community Guidelines and Personal Political Activity Policy. Pichai stressed that safeguarding the integrity of the platform is of utmost importance, especially during such a significant event. “We must maintain that trust,” he wrote, saying that it is part of Google’s broader mission to make information accessible and useful. “We will and must maintain that. In that spirit, it’s important that everyone continue to follow our Community Guidelines and Personal Political Activity Policy,” he wrote in the internal memo as reported by IANS. Highlighting the teams’ ongoing efforts, Pichai mentioned that staff across Google and YouTube have been working diligently to provide accurate and reliable information to voters. This commitment is consistent with Google’s approach during elections around the world. In 2024 alone, the tech giant supported major elections in countries like France, India, and the UK, benefiting over a billion voters. Pichai also noted that the outcome of the U.S. election would have far-reaching implications, influencing discussions in homes across the globe. However, he reassured employees that regardless of the result, Google’s mission to organise global information and make it widely accessible would remain steadfast. He highlighted how artificial intelligence continues to play a significant role in driving this mission, contributing to innovation and economic growth.

10 points on how to quit smoking based on WHO guidelines

Opening your social media has become an unintentional gamble in recent times. You either stumble upon an adorable video of someone’s pet, or get blasted with the most diabolical political opinion you’ve ever had the misfortune of witnessing. However, such apps have also fuelled a sort of food revolution among the masses recently, with more and more people looking out for <keyword id="21712333" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="healthier-food-alternatives" source="keywords">healthier food alternatives</keyword> to supplement their main meals and guilty snacking habits. While this is undoubtedly a great step considering how much of our health hinges on our food intake, one question has been increasingly puzzling everyone out of their minds: what exactly is healthy anymore? To get to the bottom of the matter, we looked at the latest <keyword id="21712334" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-dietary-guidelines" source="keywords">Indian dietary guidelines</keyword> released by the Indian Council of Medical Research (<keyword id="19918794" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ICMR" source="keywords">ICMR</keyword>), and our findings left the office erupting in groans. According to the medical board, some examples of <keyword id="21712332" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="ultra-processed-food" source="keywords">ultra-processed food</keyword> include commercially produced <keyword id="93269" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bread" source="Orion">bread</keyword>, breakfast cereals and even other staples such as refined flour and <keyword id="6446947" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="butter" source="Orion">butter</keyword>. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What counts as &quot;ultra-processed&quot;?" comment="subhead" text="What counts as &quot;ultra-processed&quot;?">What counts as "ultra-processed"?</cmsannotation> Before you throw your snack out the window, let’s understand what “ultra-processed” means. Considering that we don't live in a utopia where we can just head out and bite the stalks off a wheat plant for sustenance, most of the food we consume has to undergo some processing to make them suitable for consumption. Thus, grains are grinded into flour, fruits may have to be refrigerated and milk pasteurised — all forms of processing that make these healthy food items ready to eat. However, in the pursuit to improve taste, appearance or shelf-life, many companies subject their food products to extensive industrial processing by integrating a concerning amounts of additives such as preservatives, sweeteners, colourings, flavourings, emulsifiers, and other substances that would not typically find in an everyday kitchen. These are massive no-nos, as far as the ICMR is concerned. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Heart attack, stroke, obesity" comment="subhead" text="Heart attack, stroke, obesity">Heart attack, stroke, obesity</cmsannotation> These ultra-processed foods (UPFs) also tend to be excessively high in fats and unusually low in fibres and essential <keyword id="19896135" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nutrients" source="keywords">nutrients</keyword>. Studies have shown that a diet that is rich in such items can lead to obesity, hasten ageing, and are associated with a higher risk of heart attack, strokes, diabetes and poorer overall health. Perhaps the worst problem with them is that such foods are typically very cheap and easily accessible, leading them to be a popular choice for the masses. Further, enriching UPFs with nutrients still does nothing to make them wholesome or healthy. The ICMR advises against overconsumption of “level C” foods, which means that these edibles are high in sugars and salts and/or have been subjected to extensive techniques that break down nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and fibre in them. Such processes include over-refining of flours, juicing of fruits, subjecting the food items to high temperatures and pressures, and canning and preservation. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="List of foods classified as ultra-processed" comment="subhead" text="List of foods classified as ultra-processed">List of foods classified as ultra-processed</cmsannotation> According to the ICMR, Group C food items include commercially produced bread, breakfast cereals, cakes, chips, biscuits, fries, jams, sauces, mayonnaise, commercially produced ice cream, protein packs powders, peanut butter, soy chunks, tofu, frozen foods with additives, commercially produced cheese, butter, paneer with additives, meats, plant-based meats, refined flours of cereals, millets and legumes, energy drinks, health drinks added to milk, beverages and fruit juices. The group also includes many culinary ingredients such as cooking oils, refined sugars, salt and spices, since cosmetic food additives such as artificial colours and emulsifiers are often used in their processing. As social media drives a growing interest in healthier eating habits, it becomes crucial for consumers to discern and avoid these heavily processed items, favouring more natural and minimally processed alternatives to promote better overall health. However, moderation is perhaps the word of the year, and it would do well to learn about the stuff that goes inside our bodies, rather than live in fear of them.

New <keyword id="19900881" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="delhi" source="keywords">Delhi</keyword>, The Delhi government on Tuesday issued fresh guidelines for handling end-of-life vehicles in public places, stipulating a penalty of Rs 10,000 for four-wheelers and Rs 5,000 for two-wheelers to be imposed on owners of impounded vehicles before being released. According to the guidelines, continuous enforcement drives should be conducted to phase out such vehicles from public places in the national capital and daily reports sent to the environment department for onward submission to the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM). The government has classified the release procedure of impounded vehicles under two categories -- those who wish to shift their vehicle out of Delhi-NCR and those who wish to park the vehicle in private spaces which are not shared parking places. "On plying and parking of ELVs in public place in NCT of Delhi, once impounded for the first time it can be released on the basis of submission of an undertaking that vehicle will not be plied or parked in any public place within the territory of Delhi and will be removed from the city...," the guidelines read "In case of 4-wheeler, a penalty of Rs 10,000 along with towing charge and parking fee as notified in <keyword id="20667071" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="delhi-maintenance-and-management-of-parking-places-rules" source="keywords">Delhi Maintenance and Management of Parking Places Rules</keyword>, 2019, shall be charged before releasing of such ELVs.

According to the guidelines, any end-of-life vehicle impounded for the second time and transport vehicles running on diesel fuel and aged more than 10 years old cannot be released. The application for the release of a vehicle along with necessary documents should be submitted within three weeks of impounding of the vehicle and an online platform will be developed for this purpose, it said. According to the guidelines, impounded vehicles will be scrapped in case of three scenarios -- non-submission of application for release within three weeks of impounding of the vehicle, rejection of application submitted for release and impounding of the same vehicle for the second time. All scrap value shall be paid through digital mode only to the bank account in the name of the vehicle owner within 15 days of the vehicle being accepted by the <keyword id="20663769" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="registered-vehicles-scrapping-facility" source="keywords">Registered Vehicles Scrapping Facility</keyword>, it added.

Delhi govt issues guidelines for handling end-of-life vehicles in public places

The Reserve Bank of India (<keyword id="30067" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rbi" source="Orion">RBI</keyword>) issued comprehensive guidelines on the measures to be put in place by the banks covering various aspects of classifying <keyword id="6374937" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="accounts" source="Orion">accounts</keyword> and <keyword id="6496248" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="deposits" source="Orion">deposits</keyword> as inoperative accounts and <keyword id="1084310" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="unclaimed-deposits" source="Orion">unclaimed deposits</keyword>. The central bank called for steps to trace the customers of inoperative accounts or unclaimed deposits including their nominees or legal heirs for re-activation of accounts, settlement of <keyword id="6387025" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="claims" source="Orion">claims</keyword> or closure. RBI also stressed a periodic review of such accounts and deposits, measures to prevent fraud in such accounts or deposits, and grievance redressal mechanisms for expeditious resolution of complaints. These instructions are expected to complement the ongoing efforts and initiatives taken by banks and the RBI, to reduce the quantum of unclaimed deposits in the banking system and return such deposits to their rightful owners or claimants. According to rules, the credit balance in any deposit account maintained with banks, which has not been operated upon for ten years or more, or any amount remaining unclaimed for ten years or more, is required to be transferred by banks to Depositor Education and Awareness (DEA) fund maintained by the central bank RBI. This latest circular applies to all commercial banks (including regional rural banks) and all cooperative banks. The revised instructions shall come into effect from April 1, 2024. In August last year, RBI launched a Centralised Web Portal UDGAM (Unclaimed Deposits - Gateway to Access information), for the public to facilitate and make it easier for them to search their unclaimed deposits across multiple banks at one place. Given the increasing trend in the number of unclaimed deposits, RBI had then said it has been undertaking public awareness campaigns from time to time to sensitise the public on the matter. Further, through these initiatives, the RBI maintains it has been encouraging members of the public to identify and approach their respective banks for claiming unclaimed deposits. (ANI)
