StockNews.com Begins Coverage on Nortech Systems (NASDAQ:NSYS)Albania has announced a one-year ban on TikTok following the tragic stabbing of a teenager, raising concerns over the impact of social media on young people. Prime Minister Edi Rama confirmed the decision on Saturday after meeting with parent groups and teachers from across the country. The ban, which will come into effect early next year, is part of the government’s response to the killing of a 14-year-old boy last month, allegedly following an argument sparked on social media. For one year, we’ll be completely shutting it down for everyone. There will be no TikTok in Albania,” Rama said. The Albanian government’s move follows the fatal stabbing of the teenager in November by a classmate after the two engaged in a dispute over social media. Following the incident, Albanian authorities held over 1,300 meetings with teachers and parents to address growing concerns about online safety. The Prime Minister has specifically blamed TikTok for exacerbating violence among young people both inside and outside of schools. Videos had emerged on the platform showing minors expressing support for the killing. “The problem today is not our children. The problem today is us. The problem today is our society. The problem today is TikTok and all the others that are taking our children hostage,” Rama said. At the time of the announcement, there was no immediate response from TikTok. The Albanian government indicated that the one-year shutdown would be assessed based on the reactions from the company and other countries before any potential decision to lift the ban. However, the opposition has strongly opposed the ban. Ina Zhupa, a lawmaker from the main opposition Democratic Party, denounced the decision as an attack on democratic freedoms. “The dictatorial decision to close the social media platform TikTok ... is a grave act against freedom of speech and democracy,” Zhupa said. “It is a pure electoral act and abuse of power to suppress freedoms.” Albania’s decision comes amid growing scrutiny of social media use by children. Several European countries, including France, Germany, and Belgium, have implemented restrictions on social media platforms for minors. Australia recently introduced one of the world’s strictest regulations, banning social media for children under 16. TikTok, which boasts more than one billion active users worldwide, has faced increasing scrutiny in several countries. In the United States, the app has been accused of espionage, while the European Union is investigating claims it was used to influence Romania’s presidential election in favour of a far-right candidate. The app has become particularly popular among younger users, drawing them in with its endless stream of short, user-generated videos.

For more information, please see ourNew Delhi: Delhi govt will soon start using artificial intelligence (AI) to verify documents uploaded by city residents to avail of various online services related to the transport department. It will also solve people's queries through a virtual assistant. The use of technology will reduce the turnaround time, eliminate the possibility of any oversight and ensure that the documents such as driving licences, permits and registration certificates are issued faster, officials said. According to officials, there are 47 services of the transport department that have been completely transitioned to a faceless delivery mode, and nearly 30 lakh applicants have so far benefited from it. The number, they said, was expected to increase significantly over the next decade. Currently, the system is managed manually at the backend, and the staff review and approve each application for the different services. "By introducing the power of AI to assist applicants and staff for document verification, the turnaround time can be improved. The use of AI as a virtual assistant to the applicants' queries will improve the quality of service and avoid visits to the office," said an official, adding that an AI-powered dashboard , assisted with a virtual assistant, provides a better interface and information for decision-making and improves the quality of services. Another official said that the transport department had floated a request for proposal to engage a technology firm to develop the AI-based system. The AI-powered tool will detect any discrepancy with citizen documents in real-time based on the upload of the document on the Vahan and Sarthi portals. In case the document is not legible to read, the system would enhance it to make it readable. "The solution will be developed, deployed and tested for 13 services initially in phase 1, and will be extended to cover the remaining 34 subsequently. It will verify whether the mandatory documents are attached, enhance the readability and clarity of attached documents, and read relevant fields from them. It will also detect blurred or unclear photos, and in case of rejection, it will highlight the abnormalities," said the official. Officials said the virtual assistant would be designed in a way that it would be capable of answering and assisting citizen queries related to services within its scope, required documents, steps to avail services, estimated turnaround times, and application status in both English and Hindi languages. "The dashboard will be voice-and text-enabled, and provide RTO-wise service status, including total applications received and disposed of, turnaround times, pendency, its reasons, and other key insights to enhance operational efficiency," said the official.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — Maverick McNealy steadied himself after a rugged start Saturday with a 4-under 66 and caught up with Vince Whaley in a wild third round at the RSM Classic in which a half-dozen players had at least a share of the lead. McNealy looked as though he might have the lead when he hit wedge on the final hole that rolled just by the cup and settled 8 feet away. He missed the putt, still in great position to go after his first PGA Tour victory. Whaley, also winless on tour, birdied the 18th for a 63 and will be playing in the final group for the first time on the PGA Tour. McNealy, who joined him at 14-under 198, also shared the 54-hole lead in 2021 at the season opener in Napa, California. Whaley was playing with a sense of freedom not everyone has at the final PGA Tour event this year. He was playing on a medical extension and fulfilled the necessary points in July. The next step was finishing in the top 125 in the FedEx Cup. He secured that last week with a tie for fifth in the Bermuda Championship. Everything else feels like a bonus, and there could be no greater perk than a victory to get into the Masters and PGA Championship, along with a two-year exemption. “I've really got nothing to lose and everything to gain, so I'm just excited for the opportunity,” Whaley said. Opportunity abounds going into the final round. Daniel Berger shot a 63 and played his way into the final group, just two shots behind. He was tied with former Sea Island winner Mackenzie Hughes (65), Michael Thorbjornsen (67) and Patrick Fishburn (69). Berger and Thorbjornsen were among those who arrived at Sea Island outside the top 125, the number required to keep full status on tour on next year. Thorbjornsen already has that locked up as the No. 1 player in the PGA Tour University ranking. Berger needed a big week and he's delivering, even though he says he doesn't feel stress. Berger missed 19 months with a back injury that he feared might end his career. Now he's healthy enough to have played 27 times this year. “Regardless when I play well, I'm going to be fine,” said Berger, who played in the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. "When you miss that much amount of time it takes a little bit of a while to get back. It's just a matter of being patient and eventually good things come around.” Henrik Norlander and Hayden Springer, also on the the wrong side of No. 125, each shot 63 and were among those tied for 12th, a position that currently would let them move into the top 125. Joel Dahmen, who had to make a 5-foot par putt on Friday to make the cut, shot 70 and was tied for 61st. He is at No. 124 and his future depends on a big round Sunday, along with how Thorbjornsen, Berger, Norlander and Springer fare. Closer to the top, eight players were separated by three shots. That includes Luke Clanton, the Florida State sophomore and No. 1 amateur in the world who already has three top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour and was going after another one.

Audio Events on LinkedIn will soon be no more. In an update published this week, LinkedIn announced that it would be combining Audio Events with LinkedIn Live, effectively shutting down the audio-only streaming feature. According to the update, LinkedIn users can no longer schedule a new Audio Event as of December 2. Audio Events already scheduled before December 31 can continue as planned. Any Audio Event scheduled after that date must be rescheduled by December 15 as Audio Events will be entirely unavailable after this year. The end of LinkedIn's Audio Events LinkedIn launched Audio Events in 2022.

Clubhouse, for example, was valued at $1 billion at one point. However, the audio streaming boom quickly ended as industry trends recalibrated following the end of lockdowns and the release of the COVID-19 vaccines. By 2023, Clubhouse was laying off half of its employees. LinkedIn's announcement says that the company is simply "unifying" its Audio Events and LinkedIn Live features. However, LinkedIn Live, the platform's live streaming feature, requires that users stream via a third-party service. LinkedIn Live, the platform's live streaming feature, requires that users utilize a third-party streaming service. With the closure of Audio Events, LinkedIn will also be ending native streaming services on its platform.

Waaree Technologies bags order for 530 solar kitsSchneider Electric has urged investors and business leaders to maximise the opportunities embedded in data centre market across East and West Africa by enhancing their capabilities and skills. The firm, in a statement, noted that the African data centre market is witnessing unprecedented growth, creating a fertile ground for resellers and distributors to enhance their capabilities and foster stronger relationships with local end users. Speaking on how opportunities can be maximised, End User Sales Director, Anglophone Africa, Schneider Electric, Rohan de Beer, stressed the need to reinforce commitment to accelerate growth in the data centre market across East and West Africa regions that have become vital due to rapiddigitalisation and increasing internet penetration. The director announced the firm’s readiness to pursue this initiative, which he said is hinged on two-pronged strategy aimed at both strengthening engagement with end-user data centres while empowering its channel partners to maximise opportunities. Commenting on the company’s two-pronged strategy, De Beer said: “Previously, Schneider Electric relied solely on external channels for market development, which sometimes led to missed opportunities and increased competition. The new dual approach seeks to address these gaps by enabling closer engagement with end users to influence technology decisions and secure a larger share of the market. “This strategy allows us to influence project lifecycles at an earlier stage while maintaining our channel-driven fulfilment model. Our goal isn’t to increase direct business but to expand our market presence and share while empowering partners.” As part of the strategy, he explained that the company is rolling out initiatives to equip partners with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver advanced data centre solutions.Home for the holidays?
