Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are revolutionising electrical engineering by offering transformative solutions for renewable energy integration, electric vehicle innovation and sustainable development, emphasised the experts at Osmania University’s two-day international conference on “Current Challenges – Innovations in Electrical Engineering.” The conference, which began on Friday, brought together leading academics, researchers and industry experts to explore how AI and ML are shaping the future of electrical engineering. These technologies were highlighted as essential tools in tackling global challenges, from enhancing energy efficiency to enabling breakthroughs in quantum computing. Renowned academic and guest speaker Prof. Suresh Chandra Srivastava, former deputy director of IIT Kanpur, highlighted Osmania University’s potential to revolutionise the field through cutting-edge research, including quantum computing. His insights sparked discussions on the integration of AI, ML and emerging tools to address the pressing demands of the industry. Osmania University’s vice-chancellor Prof. Kumar Molugaram, in his inaugural address, called for a technology-driven approach to education and research. He stressed the urgent need to embed sustainable practices into engineering, stating, “In today’s world, a society without electricity is unimaginable, even for five minutes.” He pointed to the growing electric vehicle sector as a prime area for AI and ML-driven innovations, offering vast opportunities for research and employment. Adding to the discourse, OU alumnus Gopal T.K. Krishna described the conference’s role as a collaborative platform to generate new ideas and proposals. “This is where academia meets industry to drive meaningful innovation,” he observed.An interesting panel discussion on the topic ‘Books in the Digital Era’ was held on Saturday during the 37th Hyderabad Book Fair. The discussion offered a nuanced look at the evolution of reading habits in a heavily digital driven world. The hour-long session, chaired by Prof. Vijay Kumar, saw readers and book lovers sharing personal stories, insights and some hard truths about how we consume stories today. Aparna Thakur, who has been running a children’s library for eight years, spoke about the challenges she faced during the pandemic. “I started the library to encourage children to come and read books. When hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, I started an Instagram page, which received an amazing response. After the pandemic, more children began visiting after reading our reviews online,” she said and added that parents and children still prefer physical books over digital ones. However, statistics suggest an undeniable rise of e-books and audiobooks. According to a recent report, global e-book revenues are projected to grow to $15 billion by 2025, with India being one of the fastest-growing markets. Usha Raman, one of the panellists, pointed out that digital reading isn’t merely about convenience but also about creating a new relationship with the text. “This generation is very active on digital platforms. When reading digitally, people can bookmark their favourite parts or share lines they love on social media. It creates a new kind of connection with the text,” she said. At the same time, Aparna Rayaprolu cautioned against the pitfalls of the digital deluge, stating, “Everything is so accessible now, whether it’s e-books, articles or audiobooks. It’s wonderful to have so much at our fingertips, but there’s a catch. Many people download books and then never get around to reading them.” This implies that the actual time spent on reading downloaded books is not as encouraging. However, there is no denying the democratisation of access to literature owing to technology. Writers can also reach audiences they might not have been able to through traditional publishing. Poornima Tammireddy explained how digital platforms proved invaluable when she worked on translating Manto’s writings into Telugu. “I read his essays, reviews, and stories online, which helped me to write with more precision. Of the 40 stories I’ve written, only two made it to print. The ones published digitally received an incredible response,” she shared.
Authorities found Haddon, 76, dead in a second-floor bedroom on Friday morning after emergency dispatchers were notified about a person unconscious at the house in Solebury Township, Pennsylvania. A 76-year-old man police later identified as Walter J Blucas, of Erie, was hospitalised in critical condition. Responders detected a high level of carbon monoxide in the property and township police said on Saturday that investigators determined that “a faulty flue and exhaust pipe on a gas heating system caused the carbon monoxide leak”. Two medics were taken to a hospital for carbon monoxide exposure and a police officer was treated at the scene. As a model, Haddon appeared on the covers of Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle and Esquire in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the 1973 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She also appeared in about two dozen films from the 1970s to 1990s, according to IMDb, including 1994’s Bullets Over Broadway, starring John Cusack. Haddon left modelling after giving birth to her daughter, Ryan, in the mid-1970s, but then had to re-enter the workforce after her husband’s 1991 death. This time, she found the modelling industry far less friendly: “They said to me, ‘At 38, you’re not viable,'” Haddon told The New York Times in 2003. Working a menial job at an advertising agency, Haddon began reaching out to cosmetic companies, telling them there was a growing market to sell beauty products to aging baby boomers. She eventually landed a contract with Clairol, followed by Estee Lauder and then L’Oreal, for which she promoted the company’s anti-aging products for more than a decade. She also hosted beauty segments for CBS’s The Early Show. “I kept modelling, but in a different way,” she told The Times, “I became a spokesperson for my age.” In 2008, Haddon founded WomenOne, an organisation aimed at advancing educational opportunities for girls and women in marginalised communities, including Rwanda, Haiti and Jordan. Haddon was born in Toronto and began modelling as a teenager to pay for ballet classes – she began her career with the Canadian ballet company, Les Grands Ballet Canadiens, according to her website. Haddon’s daughter, Ryan, said in a social media post that her mother was “everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many”. “A pure heart. A rich inner life. Touching so many lives. A life well lived. Rest in Light, Mom,” she said.
Beau Brown was watching a theatre production of the musical Moulin Rouge! when she saw set wizardry that captivated her. Subscribe now for unlimited access . Login or signup to continue reading "I turned to my friends and said: 'That's what I want to do'," Beau said. Now the Woonona High School graduate is well on her way to achieving that, landing one of just six places in the National Institute of Dramatic Art's (NIDA) bachelor of fine arts in set construction technologies course. It is the only course of its kind in Australia, and one of a handful in the world. "It's a dream come true," Beau said, adding that she'd loved the backstage world of film, TV and theatre ever since she was little. The 18-year-old will begin her studies in 2025; originally she planned to take a gap year, but she attended the open day and "just loved it". Ideally she'd like to eventually work on movie and TV sets, but she would also love working in theatre. For Beau, building sets offers an opportunity to make magic. "I just like building things. I like watching something like a piece of timber turn into something amazing," she said. It's perhaps not a surprise: her dad Eddie, who used to work in construction, said that as an only child Beau would get roped into helping him with some of his projects. Her grandfather Bob is also a handyman. Beau finished year 12 this year, balancing her studies with work and placement at a solar installer, as well as hapkido, a Korean martial art in which she is a black belt. She received her HSC results on Wednesday and achieved an impressive 89 in construction, a class in which she was the only female student. Her construction and industrial technology teacher Ben Bradley spoke of his pride in having students like Beau do well, not so much for the marks they got but the skills they developed and them going on to do what they wanted. "You just want to see them achieve their best ... and go on to their next stage of life and fulfil their 'why'," Mr Bradley said. "And Beau's done that, which is awesome." Woonona High School principal Caroline David said the 2024 year 12 cohort had achieved the greatest year-on-year improvement seen "for some time", the result of an education approach that included a focus on collaboration. As a result, she said, the students lifted each other up. "Student success for us is improvement," Ms David said. Reporter at the Illawarra Mercury, mostly covering social affairs and education.

Former talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres has reportedly experienced massive flooding at her new mansion in England, where DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have been holing up in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory on November 5. DeGeneres’ mansion was ravaged by torrential rains that hit the bucolic region of Cotswolds, with some accounts saying the flooding is the worst in years, the Daily Mail reported on Saturday. The 43-acre property DeGeneres shares with De Rossi is reportedly now surrounded by a lake, following days of torrential rain and winds that hit up to 80 mph. “The flood waters are rising by the hour. This is the worst I have seen it in years,” a local resident told the Mail. DeGeneres, 66, and her wife mysteriously picked up stakes and moved out of their Montecito, California, home in the days following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. Reports located the couple in Cotswolds, England, a rural region noted for its castles and stately manors. An unnamed source told TMZ that DeGeneres and De Rossi felt “very disillusioned” by Trump’s win and decided to relocate to their England property, which they reportedly bought before the election. Like many Hollywood elites, DeGeneres endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, even posting on Instagram in August: “There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!! I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president.” A post shared by Ellen DeGeneres (@ellendegeneres) Several years ago, DeGeneres posted a video to social media blaming human industry for heavy rains and flooding in her then-home of Southern California: In a video posted to Twitter Monday from the celebrity enclave of Montecito, the former talk show queen explained how the town is under mandatory evacuation due to the heavy rain and winds that have hit the state in recent days. “This is crazy,” she said standing next to an overflowing creek near her home. She concluded by attempting to blame the heavy rains on human activity: “We need to be nicer to Mother Nature because Mother Nature is not happy with us. Ley’s all do our part. Stay safe, everybody.” Follow David Ng on Twitter @HeyItsDavidNg . Have a tip?
