As I stand on the threshold of my 28th year, a sense of nostalgia washes over me, bringing with it a flood of memories from my childhood. Growing up, I was a fiercely independent and determined young girl, but beneath that façade lay a sense of unfulfilled dreams and lingering regrets. Now, as an adult, I find myself contemplating the idea of seeking retribution for the shortcomings of my youth and embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
TRB Rajaa CHENNAI: The state govt is in negotiations with industries to bring more investments and companies to south Tamil Nadu , industries minister TRB Rajaa said on Saturday. Speaking to reporters after the 80th-year celebrations of Alagappa College of Technology in Anna University here, the minister said, “It will ensure distributed growth, and people can get jobs near their areas, and companies can also get cheap labour.” Rajaa said Sriperumbudur is attracting many industries. “The chief minister wants distributed growth across the state. Those who want to establish industries in A category districts will receive fewer incentives. Those who want to establish industries in B and C category districts will receive more incentives. There will be big announcements in the coming days,” he added. Earlier, speaking at the function, Rajaa said studying in institutions like AC Tech offers students a springboard to start their careers. “Institutions should focus on research and product development. There is a fear of failure among students and scholars. We need to give them a net in case they fail. If we offer that, Tamil Nadu will be a global leader in research and development,” he added. Highlighting the contributions of Tamil Nadu, he said 43% of women working in organised sectors in the country are from the state. “Up to 40% of auto parts that are manufactured in India are manufactured in Tamil Nadu. It is also an electronic superpower contributing 35% of exports in electronics,” Rajaa added. Highlighting the achievements of Alagappa College of Technology, department of science and technology former secretary T Ramasami said AC Tech is now contemplating establishing a centre for sustainability science. He urged the state govt to name it after M S Swaminathan. Alumni associations from different batches donated endowments to establish scholarships. Higher education secretary K Gopal, Alagappa College of Technology dean S Meenakshisundaram and others spoke at the event.Among the three newly revealed potential candidates, the player reportedly linked to Manchester United has generated the most interest and speculation.

New York City influencer Katelyn Sailor was elated when her husband Kyle took her on a surprise road trip Saturday to Toronto, where Taylor Swift was playing her final show at the Rogers Centre on her Eras Tour . But Katelyn had a bit of a social media meltdown over the fact that Kyle didn’t buy the pair concert tickets ahead of the show. At 2 p.m. in Toronto, Katelyn wrote on her Instagram Stories, “PS: we don’t have tickets,” and noted that Swift, 34, starts performing at 8 p.m. On one of her next IG Stories, she posted a screenshot of available tickets for the show which revealed the cheapest ticket was around $3,750 each. “The bad news? We STALKED tickets last weekend and they went way down day of, so we could get lower bowl seats for a deal. Today? THEY WENT UP. *starting to panic*,” Katelyn wrote. She then shared a text she sent to her mom, which read, “If your son in law took me to Toronto to NOT see Taylor Swift, I’m gonna murder him.” At 6:20 p.m., Katelyn showed off her outfit for the concert — a sparkly black dress with a gold jacket — and said, “The face of a gal whose husband made her get ready but still doesn’t have f–ing tickets.” On the next slide, she wrote, “We’re at a bar near the stadium and confessed for the first time all day we don’t have tickets to fellow Swifties and it felt good but I’m in full anxiety mode.” Luckily, the couple found tickets that cost $1,896 each and they bought them. “Holy freaking s–it we bought them and I’m just waiting for them to be transferred. I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe,” Katelyn said in a video from outside the stadium. “And you’re doing that right now?” an annoyed Kyle said to Katelyn. At 8:08 p.m., Katelyn said that they spent their dog Lou’s “college tuition on tickets and they haven’t transferred yet, so we can’t get in. She just went on.” Katelyn then recorded her husband on the phone with StubHub after the concert officially started. Five minutes later, Katelyn and Kyle made it into the stadium and she revealed that they got upgraded to floor seats. “This is a fever dream,” Katelyn wrote as the couple rushed to their seats during Swift’s “Lover” set of the show. “Hi so we’re in the 8th row,” Katelyn said while recording Swift singing “Fearless” from her second album. The influencer added, “I actually don’t know how it gets better than this. Can’t breathe still. Signing off. WHAT IS LIFE.” The next day, Katelyn shared an Instagram post with photos of her and Kyle at the concert. “I had the time of my life fighting StubHub with you,” her caption read. Swift played six shows at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. She will perform in Vancouver on December 6, 7 and 8, which marks the end of her Eras Tour.

By Adrian H. Halili, Reporter PHILIPPINE COCONUT production gowth is likely to be flat next year given low yields from the country’s aging trees, an industry player said. “We estimate coconut production to stay at the levels similar to previous years as efforts to improve productivity will take time to bear fruit,” Romeo I. Chan, Axelum Resources Corp. chairman and chief executive of f icer, said in an e-mailed reply to questions. Philippine coconut output has steadily decreased in recent years as most of the country’s fruit-bearing trees are now too old. Coconut and its by-products remain the country’s top agricultural export. The volume of coconut production hit 14.89 million metric tons (MT) in 2023, slightly lower than 14.93 million MT a year earlier, according to data from the Philippine Statistics Authority. “At present, the most evident challenges are the low productivity of coconut trees and inadequate infrastructure support,” Mr. Chan said. “Senile trees, weather disturbances and climate change have led to declining harvest yields over the years.” Last year, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. ordered the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) to draft a plan to rehabilitate the coconut industry, including planting 100 million coconut trees by 2028. Among the agency’s rehabilitation plan seeks to address the advanced age of the nut-bearing trees. The agency is seeking to replant about 8.5 million coconut trees this year. Under the Philippine Coconut Industry Development Plan 2024-2034, the replanting project is expected to increase coconut output by 4.7 billion nuts annually worth P33.1 billion by 2034. In 2025, the PCA aims to replant 15.3 million trees, followed by 25.4 million yearly between 2026 and 2028. Mr. Chan said the government’s replanting goal could be reached if the state and private sector work together. “In addition, the absence or lack of development in coconut regions has increasingly contributed to it being one of the most marginalized sectors, with coconut farmers considered among the poorest in the country,” he added. Mr. Chan said the struggling industry could be boosted with the appropriate use of the coco levy fund. In 2021, Republic Act No. 11524 or the Coconut Farmers and Industry Trust Fund Act signed by then President Rodrigo R. Duterte mandated the creation of a fund that places coconut levy assets to a trust fund that will finance the rehabilitation and modernization of the industry. “The proper utilization of the coco levy fund will be critical to help modernize the coconut industry, reinforce capabilities of smallholder farms and uplift coconut farming communities,” he said. The law also calls on the Bureau of the Treasury to transfer P10 billion to the trust fund, another P10 billion in the second year, P15 billion in the third year, another P15 billion in the fourth year and P25 billion in the fifth year. Axelum is a Philippine Stock Exchange-listed manufacturer and exporter of coconut products.
