Jalandhar: There never appeared to be any connection between Dr Manmohan Singh and Sahitya Akademi Award-winning poet and Sikh author, the late Prof Harinder Singh Mehboob . However, former MLA and convener of the Movement Against State Repression, Inderjit Singh Jaijee, in his book, "Politics of Genocide - Punjab 1984-1998," mentioned that the latter was saved by Dr Singh's intervention from being hounded by the Punjab Police in 1992. Mehboob received the Sahitya Akademi Award for his poetry book, "Jhanaan Di Raat," in 1991, and a huge controversy erupted over a poem in it. Expressing great pain at the Army action at Darbar Sahib in June 1984, the poem had a not-so-subtle reference to then PM Indira Gandhi's assassination. In the chapter, "The Civil Services" of the book, first published in 1999 with an introduction by retired Supreme Court Judge, the late Justice Kuldip Singh, and a foreword by the late Prof J P S Uberoi of Delhi University, Jaijee mentioned that when Operation Rakshak was underway in 1992 to stamp out militancy from Punjab, Mehboob's name was added to the police "hit list". "Mehboob was a poet — he was even awarded the prestigious national-level Sahitya Akademi Award — but aside from that, there was nothing that anyone could hold against him. He was never accused of committing any crime." "Bir Devinder Singh, a former MLA representing Fatehgarh Sahib and a fellow party member of the Congress chief minister Beant Singh and a senator of Panjab University, got a tip-off that Mehboob was marked. He hid Mehboob and dashed to Chandigarh to get state home secretary Ajit Singh Chatha's help in getting Mehboob's name stricken from the list." He mentioned that Chatha sympathised but declined to play an active role lest the govt doubt his integrity and advised him to go to chief secretary Tejinder Khanna. Jaijee wrote that Khanna too showed concern for Mehboob's life and advised Bir Devinder to go to governor Surendra Nath, himself a retired IPS officer. "Fortunately for Mehboob, governor Surendra Nath yielded to Bir Devinder's eloquent defence, and he had urgent instructions flashed to the field-level officers to spare the poet. A poetry-loving governor? Maybe... but more likely Surendra Nath, himself a former state police chief, thought that eliminating a man whose position on the hit list was already known by many people would be impolitic," Jaijee wrote. "Much more powerful support came from Union minister Manmohan Singh. Harpal Singh from Chandigarh was a friend of the Union minister and had presented him Mehboob's book earlier. When Mehboob's life was in danger, he contacted Manmohan Singh, who in turn contacted Surendra Nath, governor of Punjab, just in time to save Mehboob's life." Mehboob's daughter, Satwant Kaur, who also teaches at Khalsa College Garhdiwala, Hoshiarpur, where Mehboob taught English literature, said on Friday that her father was a great admirer of Dr Manmohan Singh and considered him a genius. "He was very happy when he became PM as he thought that a Sikh with such exceptional intellectual capacity, integrity, and rigour became the PM," she said. Before his death in 2010, Mehboob's voluminous epics on Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh were published. He intended to write the epics on all 10 Sikh Gurus but could not accomplish his dream.

Farage: Badenoch must apologise for ‘crazy conspiracy theory’ on Reform numbersEL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — J.K. Dobbins will miss at least the next four games after the Los Angeles Chargers placed the running back on injured reserve Saturday. The team also placed safety Alohi Gilman on injured reserve and signed safety Tony Jefferson to the active roster. Dobbins sprained the MCL in his left knee late in the first half of the Chargers’ 30-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday. Dobbins is fourth in the AFC in rushing with 766 yards and averages 4.8 yards per carry, third highest among AFC running backs with at least 100 carries. He has been considered among the candidates for AP Comeback Player of the Year after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in last season’s opener. Gus Edwards will be counted on to be the lead back in Dobbins' absence. Edwards missed four games during the middle of the season because of an ankle injury and has 25 carries for 93 yards in three games since returning to the lineup. The Chargers are 7-4 and hold the sixth seed in the AFC going into Sunday's game at NFC South leader Atlanta (6-5). Los Angeles is at Kansas City (10-1) in a prime-time game on Dec. 8, hosts Tampa Bay (5-6) on Dec. 15 and Denver (7-5) on Dec. 19. Gilman suffered a hamstring injury in the loss to the Ravens. He has 47 tackles, which is fifth on the team, along with one sack. Los Angeles also elevated cornerback Dicaprio Bootle and linebacker Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste from the practice squad for Sunday’s game. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

Someone may say, “Hiring more staff is the best way to grow your business,” but is that a fact at all? As the cost of operations continues to rise, coupled with the increasing benefits of employees and overheads, many businesses may also find that full-time employees are a strain on their pockets. The solution may not lie in employing additional staff but n outsourcing tasks to a virtual assistant company, eliminating long-term commitments or additional expenses. Virtual Assistant USA services enable you to expand your operations efficiently and cost-effectively, proving that sometimes less really is more when it comes to staffing. Understanding Virtual Assistant USA Services A virtual assistant (VA) is a professional who offers administrative, technical, or creative services to businesses from a remote location. Virtual Assistant Services operate as independent contractors or freelancers. They handle assignments that can be executed through online or virtual channels. Technological advancements have broadened the scope of easily outsourcing work to VAs, leaving businesses to concentrate on more strategic operations. Which Types of Services Are Offered by Virtual Assistant Companies? Virtual Assistant companies in USA offer a multitude of customized services for their clients. Some of the common services are as follows: Key Benefits of Hiring Virtual Assistant Companies One of the most notable virtual assistant benefits is improved efficiency for your business operations. When all redundant tasks are delegated to a Virtual Assistant Team, you can use that time to concentrate on more crucial business elements— business strategy, marketing, or customer relations. Virtual Assistant Services can streamline your workflows by taking responsibility for responding to emails, scheduling meetings for you, and updating your social media. Therefore, no more handling of those small tasks that pile up so quickly and slow you down. The costs of hiring a full-time employee are high. It includes the salary, benefits, equipment, and other overheads such as office space. Virtual Assistant Companies in USA offer affordable substitutes to hiring in-house staff. With a Virtual Assistant USA, you only pay for the services you require without the extra costs of vacation time, healthcare, and an office infrastructure. Let’s take an example. If you want help for only 10 hours a week, you can hire a VA for that time and not have to pay a full-time salary for that position. Incredible, isn’t it? Such a flexibility allows you to allocate resources more effectively and save bucks in the long run. Most virtual assistant companies have a lot of professionals specializing in different areas. Thus, you can hire virtual assistants for, let’s say, graphic design, content writing, bookkeeping, and more based on the work requirements of your business. This means that you can go for quality work without hiring specialists on a full-time basis. Moreover, virtual assistant services provide flexibility in scaling your operations. If you want more hands on deck and your business is increasing, you can easily scale by adding more virtual assistants and/or increasing their working hours. Should you have less work to do, you can reduce your VA usage, again with no long-term commitments. How a Virtual Assistant USA Simplify Daily Operations Task management is probably the most time-consuming thing in business. Virtual Assistant Benefits include properly arranging schedules and all appointments, thus managing every task. Whether it includes organizing the calendar, fixing up meetings, or reminding whenever a deadline approaches, they serve this role. When you Hire Virtual Assistants, they also help with email management, organizing and responding to emails based on your priorities. This means fewer distractions and more time for you to focus on the bigger picture. Managing multiple projects can be a bit overwhelming, especially because there are so many moving parts. Virtual Assistant Companies can conduct research, compile data, and track progress to support ongoing projects. They will help ensure that projects stay on track, meeting deadlines and completing tasks efficiently. For instance, if you have an ongoing marketing campaign, the virtual assistant team can monitor its performance, collect data, and then give you reports. Hence, you can make well-thought-out decisions without having to spend hours on data collection and analysis. Customer support is critical for businesses. A Virtual Assistant USA can manage customer inquiries or complaints and provide after-sales support. Improved response times will make customers feel that they have been heard, leading to improved customer experience. Customers who receive prompt and effective service are more likely to return and promote your company to others. A Virtual Assistant Team may ensure that your customer support runs efficiently, even during peak periods, without requiring you to oversee it personally. Choosing the Right Virtual Assistant Company Before hiring a virtual assistant company, assess your business needs. Clarify the exact Outsourcing Tasks for VAs. It could be administrative functions, customer care, social media management, or any other operation that currently consumes most of your time. Next is to evaluate the volume of work. Do you need full-time assistance, or can it be just a few hours of support you require in a week? If you evaluate your needs well, then you can find a virtual assistant company that provides the right level of support. After identifying your requirements: Another factor to consider is the expertise and range of service offerings. Some of the best virtual assistant companies focus on specific fields, such as ecommerce or marketing, while others provide more generalized services. Select a company that will align with your business requirements and goals. Take the Leap Towards Business Efficiency! Business doesn’t have to come to a standstill due to operational challenges. With virtual assistant services, you can proactively shape your business’s future by streamlining workflows, decreasing stress, and increasing productivity. Discover how much a VA can do for your business and reach previously unattainable levels of efficiency from this moment forward.

OTTAWA – Canada’s telecommunications regulator has launched a consultation to determine whether the country’s Big 3 providers should be able access wholesale fibre internet services. The move comes in response to an order from the federal cabinet, which earlier this month denied an appeal filed by BCE Inc. of a partial CRTC decision last year. That decision, which has since been expanded nationally by the regulator, allowed smaller internet providers to sell services to their customers through fibre networks in Ontario and Quebec owned by Bell Canada and Telus Corp. Bell had argued the CRTC’s direction, while meant to stimulate competition for internet services, reduced its incentive to continue building out its fibre network. While Ottawa upheld that decision, it said the CRTC should “reconsider a discrete aspect” — whether major players such as Bell, Telus and Rogers Communications Inc. should be prohibited from using each other’s fibre networks to sell internet service to customers. Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne said the government had concerns “about fostering the viability of small and regional internet service providers that provide alternatives and about maintaining investments in internet infrastructure, particularly in underserved areas including rural, remote and Indigenous communities.” The CRTC says stakeholders can submit their feedback on the matter until Dec. 12.

e.l.f. Beauty's ELF short percent of float has fallen 8.29% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.84 million shares sold short , which is 14.39% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.44 days to cover their short positions on average. Why Short Interest Matters Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. Short selling is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises. Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish. See Also: List of the most shorted stocks e.l.f. Beauty Short Interest Graph (3 Months) As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for e.l.f. Beauty has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted. Comparing e.l.f. Beauty's Short Interest Against Its Peers Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis. According to Benzinga Pro , e.l.f. Beauty's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.14%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers. Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.

NoneThe I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! campmates have been left terrified after an unwelcome visitor broke into their quarters. During the night, the stars of the 2024 series had an extra campmate in the form of a rat - who was attracted by some remnants of the camp's slap-up dinner. Suspecting it was the previous night's dinner of mud crab, which may have tempted the rat into camp, Richard updated his fellow campmates at breakfast. He said: “We had a visitor last night, a little four legged visitor with a tail, a rat.” Explaining they had left some of the stuff out, including a frying pan and some cups, he reminded the camp to put everything away properly before going to sleep.

Going back and forth to collect, carry and boil water, tensions began to arise as Melvin said of Dean: “It’s almost like another chore to ask him to help... it’s like telling a kid to tidy up his bedroom.” The unwelcome visitor scuttled around camp after Tulisa received the highest number of votes and was nominated to take on the day’s Bushtucker Trial titled ‘Shock Around The Clock.’ After she was nominated, Alan said of Tulisa: “After Fright Bus, I’m not surprised she got voted because those screams were loud, she was directly behind me and my ears are still ringing." Despite her fears, Tulisa vowed that she would do her best in the challenge to bring home the stars and some grub for her fellow campmates. The task at hand sees Tulisa strapped inside the second hand of a giant clock, rotating around the clock face, while playing for 12 stars. For every star, she's given a category and would have to answer 12 things that would fit into the category within just 60 seconds. With the clock ticking, and Tulisa’s knowledge put to the test, she's faced with having to list 12 things from a number of categories including, all 12 I’m A Celebrity... campmates, which trimmings made up the ideal Sunday roast and UK cities, all while rotating and being joined by an assortment of critters.
