ROSEVILLE, Minn. — This week has been warm , which isn't great for winter activities, but skaters and hockey players have been able to enjoy a refrigerated outdoor ice rink in Roseville. People can lace up their skates at the Oval even if temperatures are in the 50s. Sam Moen got some ice time in Thursday before his hockey practice for Mounds View High School, where he's a senior goalie. "I just love the game of hockey," Moen said. "Just love being on the ice, just playing." Anna Sharratt was there for her son's 14th birthday and teaching her 3-year-old daughter, Sylvie, how to skate. "You're supposed to start by marching or stomping, and then they do a push from there," Sharratt said. "Of course, [she's the] third child, she has her own ideas." The Oval ice facility is cooled with underground pipes, which allows for skating even during winter's warmest stretches. "We actually just had a customer call today that was wondering if we'd be open," said Kevin Elm, the Roseville Skating Center superintendent. "They're coming from an hour away because a lot of the outdoor rinks right now, the ice is too soft. With warm weather coming, we're expecting record crowds over the next week and a half or so." Elm's worked for Roseville for 30 years. He tries not to take any of it for granted. "Everybody's smiling, makes my job easy," Elm said. David joined the WCCO team in April 2020, previously working at CBS 58 in Milwaukee. Prior to that, he worked in Las Vegas. While there, David covered several stories in the national spotlight, including the October 1 mass shooting and political visits from President Barack Obama and candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
A Missouri circuit court judge on Monday declined to restore access to gender-affirming care for minors in the state, ruling in a 74-page judgment that a law banning children from accessing medical care is constitutional. The Save Adolescents From Experimentation Act, which bars medical professionals from providing hormone therapy and puberty blockers to anyone younger than 18, was signed into law by Republican Gov. Mike Parson in 2023. It also bans gender transition surgeries for minors (which are exceedingly rare ), bans prisons and jails from providing gender-affirming surgeries, and prohibits Missouri Medicaid from covering similar treatments for adults. Judge Robert Craig Carter of the 44th Judicial Circuit Court of Missouri disputed the findings of medical experts in his ruling, citing a “total lack of consensus” on the medical ethics of treating gender dysphoria. “The evidence from trial showed that the medical ethics of gender dysphoria treatment for children and adolescents are entirely unsettled,” he added. Carter also suggested that treating gender dysphoria could be a slippery slope to depriving the Missouri legislature of its ability to regulate drugs. “Any person — including a minor — would be able to obtain anything from meth, to ecstasy to abortion so long as a single medical professional were willing to recommend it,” he warned. Lambda Legal, a national nonprofit that advocates for LGBTQ civil rights, together with the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri, argued the law is discriminatory on the basis of sex and therefore violates the Missouri Constitution. In a joint statement Monday, the organizations said they were “extremely disappointed” in the ruling and pledged to appeal. Don't let this be the end of the free press.

O'Reilly Automotive Inc. stock underperforms Tuesday when compared to competitors despite daily gainsNone
A judge on Monday granted a request by prosecutors to dismiss the election subversion case against Donald Trump because of a Justice Department policy of not prosecuting a sitting president. Judge Tanya Chutkan agreed to the request by Special Counsel Jack Smith to dismiss the case against the president-elect "without prejudice," meaning it could potentially be revived after Trump leaves the White House four years from now. "Dismissal without prejudice is appropriate here," Chutkan said, adding in the ruling that "the immunity afforded to a sitting President is temporary, expiring when they leave office." Trump, 78, was accused of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden and removing large quantities of top secret documents after leaving the White House, but the cases never came to trial. Smith also moved on Monday to drop his appeal of the dismissal of the documents case filed against the former president in Florida. That case was tossed out earlier this year by a Trump-appointed judge on the grounds that Smith was unlawfully appointed. The special counsel paused the election interference case and the documents case this month after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election. Smith cited the long-standing Justice Department policy of not indicting or prosecuting a sitting president in his motions to have the cases dismissed. "The Government's position on the merits of the defendant's prosecution has not changed," Smith said in the filing with Chutkan. "But the circumstances have." "It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President," Smith said. "As a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated." In a separate filing, Smith said he was withdrawing his appeal of the dismissal of the classified documents case against Trump but pursuing the case against his two co-defendants, Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said the cases were "empty and lawless, and should never have been brought." "Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party's fight against their Political Opponent, ME," he said. "Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before." Trump was accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding -- the session of Congress called to certify Biden's win, which was violently attacked on January 6, 2021 by a mob of the then-president's supporters. Trump was also accused of seeking to disenfranchise US voters with his false claims that he won the 2020 election. The former and incoming president also faces two state cases -- in New York and Georgia. He was convicted in New York in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election to stop her from revealing an alleged 2006 sexual encounter. However, Judge Juan Merchan has postponed sentencing while he considers a request from Trump's lawyers that the conviction be thrown out in light of the Supreme Court ruling in July that an ex-president has broad immunity from prosecution. In Georgia, Trump faces racketeering charges over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results in the southern state, but that case will likely be frozen while he is in office. cl/sms
The Best Black Friday Mattress Deals of 2024 Are Extra Dreamy'An amazing feat': School assignment turns into life-changing opportunity for Hamburg college studentTAMPA, Fla. (AP) — This isn’t a week when coach Todd Bowles feels he needs to find the right words to ensure his Tampa Bay Buccaneers are motivated to face the last-place Carolina Panthers. The Bucs (8-7) have won eight of the last nine meetings between the NFC South rivals, including the past three with Baker Mayfield at quarterback. It hasn’t exactly been smoothly sailing against the Panthers (4-11), though, for the three-time defending division champions. And, with at least a share of first place on the line Sunday, Bowles and his players say they are focused solely on rebounding from last week’s disappointing loss to the Dallas Cowboys. “We know it’s going to be a tough ballgame. It went overtime last time. They’re coached very well; they play very hard,” Bowles said, referencing Tampa Bay’s 26-23 win at Carolina on Dec. 1. “We know what’s at stake for us. It doesn’t need to be talked about. Everybody understands that,” Bowles added. “We’ve got to clean up our own mistakes, and we’ve got to play an error-free football game.” The Bucs are tied with Atlanta for the best record in the NFC South, however the Falcons (8-7) hold the tiebreaker after sweeping the season series between the teams. To claim a fourth straight division title, Tampa Bay needs to win remaining home games against the Panthers and New Orleans Saints while Atlanta loses at least once in the last two weeks of the regular season. If the Falcons hold on to win the South, the Bucs can earn a wild-card playoff berth if they win out and the Washington Commanders lose twice. Mayfield, who has resurrected his career since being released by Carolina two years ago, summed up the attitude in a resilient locker room. The Bucs have won four of five games following a four-game losing streak threatened their playoff hopes. “I keep saying it, this team has the mental makeup of a great team. We just have to continue to fight and find ways to win,” the quarterback said. “If we don’t take of business, we won’t be in the playoffs.” Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard cost his team the game four weeks ago against Tampa Bay when he fumbled on the second possession of overtime just after Carolina had reached field goal range. Mayfield responded by leading the Bucs back down the field for the winning field goal. The loss was devastating for Hubbard at the time, but he promised himself when the opportunity arose again he’d make the most of it. He did that this past Sunday, when he carried twice for 49 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown run in which he broke two tackles, in overtime to lift the Panthers to a 36-30 win over Arizona, knocking the Cardinals out of the playoff hunt. “I’d let it go, but it’s definitely been in the back of my head a little bit,” Hubbard said. “Like I said, when the next opportunity came, I told myself I’m going to get it back for them. To be able to have them trust me in that opportunity again, and to have it in that way is a blessing from God.” Bryce Young has shown solid progress in his decision making, particularly when the pocket begins to break down. Last week, the second-year QB ran for a career-best 68 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown. Young was benched after two games this season, but since returning to the lineup has played better, restoring some faith that perhaps the No. 1 overall pick in 2023 can be the team’s quarterback of the future. “Just time in the system and time as a team for us to come together,” Young said of why he has improved. “For me, being able to get reps, and get time with everyone. It’s just all of us being able to feed off of each other, and it’s been able to allow us to turn in the right direction.” The Panthers have been abysmal against the run, allowing nearly 200 yards per game on the ground over the last seven games. In the last meeting with Tampa Bay, Bucky Irving ran for a career-high 152 yards and a touchdown, so Carolina’s defense has a good idea of what's coming Sunday. Mayfield has beaten Carolina three times since joining the Bucs in 2023. All of the meetings have been close, though, with the Panthers losing twice by three points and Tampa Bay settling for three field goals in a 9-0 regular season-ending victory that clinched its third straight NFC South championship last January. “We know them well. They know us well,” Mayfield said. AP Sports Writer Steve Reed in Charlotte, North Carolina, contributed to this report. NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

Starbucks faces disruptions following ransomware attack on software supplierAnd today, in his first game at the World Junior Championship with the United States, the Washington Capitals prospect recorded five (!) assists. Lane Hutson has 1g 3a in his first WJC. Cole Hutson has 5a in his first WJC game. — Grant McCagg (@grantmccagg) It’s quite crazy, nonetheless. Both brothers have a fairly similar playing style, according to many. It is worth noting that the Canadiens had two opportunities to select before the 43rd pick, which is the one the Capitals ultimately used to draft Cole. But I don’t think selecting the other brother with their 21st pick would have been the optimal choice. Even less so with the fifth. Cole Hutson and Lane Hutson look like the exact same player — Jesse Pollock (@jpolly22) Like the Canadiens’ prospect, Cole is a second-round pick, and many even think he is better than his brother.

For many people, retirement is a major goal and represents a life milestone. Unfortunately, 35% of American workers feel significantly behind when it comes to their retirement savings, according to Bankrate’s 2024 Retirement Savings Survey . The good news is it’s never too late to open a retirement account — or to boost your savings if you already have one. Whether you’re fresh out of school or approaching your golden years, you have options when it comes to planning for retirement. If you’re not sure where to begin, a financial adviser can help you develop a plan that aligns with your time horizon, risk tolerance and goals. Here are some steps to help you get started planning for retirement. 1. Figure out how much money you’ll need First, figure out what kind of life you want to live during retirement and how much money you’ll need to get there. In general, many financial experts recommend saving 10% to 15% of your income for retirement, but this isn’t a hard rule. Another rule of thumb is to have a certain amount of your income saved by a particular age, following these guidelines : —In your 20s, take advantage of starting early by attempting to save 10% of your pay. —By 35, try to have two times your salary saved in retirement accounts. —By 45, aim to have four times your earnings saved. —By 50, your savings should be six times your earnings. However, remember that everyone’s retirement goals differ. How much you will need depends on a number of factors, including your health status and lifestyle. Regardless, the first step is to determine what you want your retirement to look like. Sometimes, writing your goals down can be helpful. Bankrate’s retirement calculator can also help you figure out how much you may need. 2. Open a traditional IRA “The easiest way to get started with a retirement account is to set up an IRA,” says Dan Sudit, partner at Crewe Advisors in Salt Lake City. With an IRA, anyone with earned income can get one, and you don’t have to rely on an employer to provide a plan. Then you can go to a popular financial institution such as Charles Schwab or Fidelity Investments — or the best brokers for IRA accounts — and set one up in minutes. The traditional IRA allows you to deduct contributions from your taxable income, meaning you won’t pay taxes on them, if your income is below a certain level. Contributions and gains can grow tax-deferred for years before having to pay taxes when you withdraw the money during retirement. Contributions are limited to $7,000 in 2025, though those age 50 or older can add an additional $1,000. And there are even a few other benefits for those opening an IRA. “Many people are unaware that for a married couple, even a nonworking spouse may be able to make tax-deductible contributions to a traditional IRA,” says Sudit. It’s called a spousal IRA . Plus, if your income is low enough, you may qualify for an additional tax credit called the Saver’s Credit . 3. Open a Roth IRA A Roth IRA is a different type of IRA that can offer you some attractive benefits as well. With a Roth IRA, you make contributions with after-tax money — so no tax deduction this tax year — but you’ll be able to grow your money tax-free and even take it out tax-free at retirement age. Like the traditional IRA, you’ll need income to participate in a Roth IRA, or you can have a working spouse that qualifies you for one. The Roth IRA also has income limitations, meaning you won’t be able to open one if your income is above a certain level, though you can get around this with a backdoor Roth IRA . The Roth IRA is a powerful retirement account, and it can offer powerful features such as the ability to pass down your nest egg tax-free to your heirs. That’s all part of the reason that many financial planners think the Roth IRA is the best retirement plan around . 4. Get your 401(k) in order The new year is also a great time to refocus on your employer-sponsored 401(k) or get started on one if you haven’t already. The 401(k) plan — or its cousin, the 403(b) for government employees — provides a great way to save for retirement and comes in two varieties: the traditional 401(k) and the Roth 401(k): —The traditional 401(k) allows you to save on a pre-tax basis, meaning you won’t pay income taxes on any contributions. You’ll be able to grow your money tax-deferred, and you’ll pay taxes only when you withdraw your money in retirement. —The Roth 401(k) lets you save on an after-tax basis, meaning you’ll pay taxes on any contributions. However, you can grow your money tax-free, and you’ll never have to pay tax on qualified withdrawals in retirement. And unlike an IRA, “there are no income limits for making contributions to a 401(k),” says Jonathan Cahill, CFP, wealth adviser at Crossgate Wealth Advisors in Yardley, Pennsylvania. But you cannot contribute more than you earn. The maximum annual contribution to a 401(k) is $23,500 in 2025, and those aged 50 to 59 or 64 and older can add an additional $7,500 per year as a catch-up contribution. In 2025, those between 60 and 63 can contribute $11,250 as a catch-up contribution. “Other benefits of a 401(k) plan include creditor protection, the ability to borrow against it or take early distributions without penalty for a first-time homebuyer,” Sudit says. 5. Maximize your employer’s 401(k) match The 401(k) can give you a little extra juice, though, beyond just those contribution limits. That’s because many companies give employees matching funds for contributing to their account. In effect, you get an immediate return on your money. Here’s the fine print. Employers often match a specific percentage of your contribution up to some maximum. For example, one employer might match the first 4% of your contributed salary at a full 100%. So if you contribute 4%, your employer kicks in another 4% and you’ll be putting away a total of 8%. Further contributions won’t earn you any extra match, however. “We would certainly recommend you make contributions to that plan, especially if your company provides a company match,” says Sudit. “That’s free money.” So it’s often an easy way to quickly boost your savings. However, many employers will require this match to “vest,” meaning you’ll need to stay with the company for a period of time, often three or four years, to claim the full benefit. Otherwise, you’ll likely end up with just a partial benefit, and the company will keep any money that remains unvested. 6. Pick your investments So you’re taking advantage of the benefits of a retirement account — but what do you invest in? Sudit advises to focus on potential growth, “focus on long-term goals and what are the best investments over that period of time to get you there.” One of the best long-term investments has been stocks, with attractive returns. The S&P 500 , a collection of about 500 of America’s top companies, has returned about 10% annually over long periods. It’s highly diversified, which helps reduce your risk , and you can buy into the S&P 500 with just one low-cost index fund. But even with the proven track record of solid long-term returns, stocks can be volatile in the short term. Those who are nearer to retirement may want to play it more conservatively, however, and own bonds as well. Bonds are less volatile generally than stocks and deliver regular income. If your company offers a 401(k) plan, you may have access to an adviser who can help direct you and work with you to better understand how your investments fit into your retirement plan. “If you don’t want the responsibility in picking out the funds and allocation, target-date funds can be a suitable option for you,” Cahill says. Target-date funds automatically move your portfolio from riskier investments (such as stocks) to more conservative ones (such as bonds) over time. This process gives you more assurance that your money will be there when you need to access it in retirement. 7. Consider a financial adviser If all of this seems overwhelming – or you just want an extra set of eyes to help you manage your investments – consider hiring a financial adviser to help you develop your retirement plan. Financial advisers can help with general investment management, but they can do much more than that as well. Depending on your needs, they can help you with budgeting, getting insurance, goal-setting, taxes, estate planning and more. Bankrate’s financial adviser matching tool can help match you with an adviser near you in minutes. Bottom line If you’re investing for the long term, it’s a great time to get your finances in order. Remember that often the hardest part is starting, but the sooner you do, the better off you will be. The more time you give your money to compound, the more you’ll have when that special day comes.

When New York Jets players returned to the team’s facility from their bye week on Monday, they were greeted by speeches from an interim head coach and an interim general manager. Most of the roster was brought to New York by Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas. Both were fired before Thanksgiving, the Jets playoff hopes dead before December. So on Monday, it was Jeff Ulbrich and Phil Savage standing in front of the team, delivering words to convince them that there’s still something to play for, even if it doesn’t really feel like it. Ulbrich talked about finishing off the season “the right way” over the final six games, starting with Sunday at home against the Seattle Seahawks . Savage spoke about the importance of maintaining professionalism regardless of the circumstance the Jets find themselves in. "If you don't like what's going on... you've got to make some sacrifices to make those changes happen." pic.twitter.com/qnZAGWG6ON — New York Jets (@nyjets) November 25, 2024 It would be fair to wonder if that message is falling on deaf ears at this point, especially as owner Woody Johnson has already turned the page to 2025. If that wasn’t obvious when the Jets fired Douglas as general manager last week , it was on Monday afternoon when the Jets announced they were hiring The 33rd Team , a media and consulting firm run by former Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum, to help them in their search for a new general manager and head coach. Tannenbaum and former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman will lead the way in a “supportive role to help identify and vet candidates in addition to coordinate interviews.” Advertisement Sure, the Jets are 3-8 and have a less than one percent chance of making the postseason, according to the New York Times playoff simulator . If the Jets somehow won all of their remaining six games, that number would still only jump to 30 percent. When Ulbrich was given the interim head coaching tag upon Saleh’s firing in October , it was with the idea that the rest of the season would serve as his audition for the full-time job. Now, the Jets are actively searching for his replacement — though Ulbrich hasn’t been ruled out as a candidate. Awkward? “In all honesty, it’s not at all,” Ulbrich said. “My focus is finishing the season off the right way, playing a brand of football we’re all proud of, myself included, and that starts with Seattle.” GO DEEPER Why Joe Douglas never stood a chance as Jets GM With Ulbrich as head coach, the Jets defense has taken a nosedive. Since Week 6, Ulbrich’s first game as interim head coach, it ranks 30th in defensive EPA, 26th in rushing defense and 24th in points allowed per game. They’ve also forced the fewest turnovers (two) in the NFL during that span and haven’t recorded an interception since Week 5, Saleh’s last game as head coach. Tackling has been an issue, lowlighted by the Week 10 loss to the Cardinals in which the Jets missed 20 tackles. None of that helps Ulbrich’s case for earning the full-time job, but as with Jets players the next six games will serve as his audition for the rest of the NFL too. Ulbrich is not giving up play-calling, he said, maintaining control of his unit while also trying to lead the entire operation. It’s a formula that hasn’t worked so far. “We created a real clear vision of where we need to improve and found some things,” Ulbrich said, declining to get into specifics. “Obviously you find the things that you’re not doing well, you need to improve upon them. But then we also found some things that I think we can really build upon.” Advertisement The tallest task for Ulbrich over the final six games: buy-in. The players know that the person leading the organization (Johnson) has already given up on their season and is looking ahead to next year. Their head coach was fired. Their general manager was fired. They’re 3-8, the playoffs are unrealistic and there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot to play for — other than pride. It’s been a crazy season, to say the least. “That’s definitely a word for it,” said linebacker C.J. Mosley , one of the team’s captains. “You could throw a lot of different synonyms in there. (Firings don’t) happen a lot, but it happens. It’s unfortunate that it’s happened to us this year. We can only control what we do on the field. ... You can’t make any excuses when there’s changes in our locker room, changes upstairs, downstairs or around the corner, the only thing we can control is when we step in between the white lines, what we’re doing to win football games. As players, that’s what we have to make sure that our main focus stays at.” Mosley added that the goal going forward is simple: win. “Even though we’re coming out of this bye week with a losing record, it doesn’t have to stay that way,” he said. “We can find a way to win these last few games and try to make something out of these last six weeks that we have because at the end of the day, at the end of season, whether we finish with all wins, all losses or .500, change is going to happen regardless. So we might as well do what we can while we’re here.” There are plenty of players and coaches with something to prove. Ulbrich wants to prove he deserves a shot at being a head coach, whether with the Jets or someone else. Mosley wants to prove he still has something left in the tank, though a neck injury might still keep him out of Sunday’s game. There are many key players set to hit free agency this offseason, and others who will be fighting for roster spots — whether that’s with the Jets or with one of the other 31 teams. Advertisement “We understand that, you know, they’re doing things upstairs, figuring out what’s going to happen next year,” said offensive tackle Morgan Moses , who will be a free agent. “But a lot of people in this locker room are playing for a lot of things, whether it’s free agency, whether it’s more playing time, whether it’s to be on the 53-man roster. If you’re a practice squad guy, there’s so many variables that guys are going to contribute into this thing. And all we have to worry about is playing football. I want to say a lot of that is outside noise and we’re going to control the things we can control in the locker room and that’s just getting ready for Seattle.” GO DEEPER The Jets' QB options in 2025 — with or without Aaron Rodgers Then there’s Aaron Rodgers . The quarterback turns 41 in December and is in the midst of one of the worst stretches of his career. He’s never been the starter of a team that was out of playoff contention this early. He’s been banged up all season and a recent NFL Network report suggested that Rodgers has been refusing to get scans on his injuries so the team couldn’t prevent him from playing. Rodgers has looked like a shell of himself, unwilling to throw the ball downfield or make plays on the run, which used to be his signature. There’s the question of whether the Jets (or Rodgers himself) will ultimately shut it down, especially as it becomes clearer that neither Rodgers nor Johnson are likely to want to continue this marriage into 2025. But Ulbrich said Rodgers looks healthier coming out of the bye week than he has at any point in the last month. “A healthy Aaron Rodgers is the Aaron Rodgers we all love,” Ulbrich said. On Monday, Ulbrich was in the unfortunate position of being questioned about things largely out of his control: Rodgers’ status for the rest of the season and Johnson’s over-involvement in the team’s day-to-day operations, as detailed by The Athletic last week . GO DEEPER Russini’s what I’m hearing: The day the Jets fell apart and the Broncos rallied, Belichick best fits When questioned, Ulbrich said he was “not informed of that” report about Rodgers declining to take tests, and would only say three words to the question of whether there are internal discussions about shutting him down: “There is not.” Will Rodgers be the starting quarterback against Seattle? “Absolutely,” Ulbrich said. Advertisement As for The Athletic ’s report that safety Tony Adams was benched as a starter in Week 11 at Johnson’s instruction, Ulbrich didn’t exactly say “no.” “Guys, I’m preaching to the players about the singular focus going forward and pouring everything into this Seahawks team and owning this process,” Ulbrich said. “I gotta live that too. I can’t be sitting here talking about things that may or may not have happened. Mr. Johnson and myself have great dialogue, consistent dialogue, we talk all the time and we have very honest conversations and I’d like to keep those conversations between the two of us.” The Jets have a lot of questions about what the future looks like around here. Those won’t be answered until the offseason. In the meantime, they still have six games to play.

The watchdog provided comprehensive guidelines covering various aspects, including back office vendor management, public interest directors meetings, disciplinary procedures for Key Management Personnel, transparency in board proceedings, and periodic reporting requirements for Compliance and Risk Officers. These regulatory changes will take effect from April 1, as stated in Sebi's circular. Sebi has also clearly defined the audit committee's responsibilities in managing whistleblower complaints. The committee must receive, investigate and make appropriate determinations on complaints, including suggesting necessary actions. The audit committee must provide comprehensive quarterly updates to the MII's Governing Board, detailing received complaints, actions undertaken and pending matters. Unresolved matters requiring additional consideration must be elevated to the Governing Board for final determination. Additionally, the market regulator instructed MIIs, including stock exchanges, clearing corporations and depositories, to implement RegTech and SupTech solutions to enhance regulatory and supervisory frameworks. Concerning RegTech and SupTech implementation, MIIs must develop online submission systems for their members and participants, including stock brokers, clearing members and depository participants, reducing paper-based processes. These systems should facilitate automated alerts and reporting mechanisms. MIIs must publish essential information about their members on their websites, including three-year records of investor grievances, regulatory actions, previous year's net worth and other pertinent details. Furthermore, significant regulatory violations by any member must be communicated across MIIs to maintain transparency. For ensuring compliance by back-office vendors and outsourced agencies, MIIs must establish comprehensive policies governing their selection and supervision. The policies must explicitly identify potential risks linked to vendors or agencies and specify risk mitigation strategies. The guidelines should establish both qualitative and quantitative baseline criteria that vendors, including technology providers, must satisfy for appointment eligibility. Sebi has mandated Public Interest Directors to convene meetings every six months, requiring full attendance from all members. These sessions are dedicated to examining Sebi regulation compliance, evaluating crucial operational areas including regulatory adherence, risk management and investor complaints, whilst assessing whether financial and human resources are sufficient for these functions. PIDs are also tasked with detecting possible conflicts of interest and handling matters that could significantly impact the market. Sebi has instructed MIIs to develop internal Standard Operating Procedures for disciplinary action against KMPs or regulatory non-compliance. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee and MII Governing Board must approve these procedures. The SOPs should specify possible actions against KMPs for violations, ranging from advisory notices and warnings to impacts on increments, promotions, suspension and termination. Quarterly reports on non-compliance and investor grievance resolution must be submitted by Compliance Officers to Sebi within 45 days after each quarter ends. Chief Risk Officers must submit bi-annual reports on comprehensive risk management, with submission deadlines set at 90 days after each half-year period. Sebi requires MIIs to publish agendas and minutes related to regulatory matters, compliance, risk management and investor grievances on their websites. Ready to Master Stock Valuation? ET's Workshop is just around the corner!With a stirring performance by one of the Arab world’s leading singers and musicians, Hamza Namira, and the resonant sound of Arabic Fusha songs, Qatar Foundation’s (QF) Al Ghorrah for Literature and Arts concluded after five days of celebrating creativity and cultural heritage. “Al Ghorrah is an attempt to seek refuge in the cultural constant against the various existential calamities of our time,” said HE Sheikha Hind bint Hamad al-Thani, Vice-Chairperson and CEO, QF. Al Ghorrah was sponsored by the Social & Sport Contribution Fund (Daam). Abdulrahman bin Abdullatif al-Mannai, Chief Executive Officer of Daam, said: “Al Ghorrah for Literature and Arts served as an important platform for celebrating Arab-Islamic heritage and fostering cultural understanding among diverse communities. Supporting initiatives like these aligns with Daam’s ongoing commitment to enhancing cultural exchange and preserving cultural identity for future generations in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.” The event highlighted the vital role of culture in providing a sense of grounding amid challenges, with creativity and heritage seen not as relics of the past but as enduring beacons of identity and resilience. Building on this theme, Al Ghorrah offered an array of theatre and musical performances, educational workshops, and activities for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Education City event showcased a vast spectrum of creative talents and richness of Arab-Islamic culture with approximately 8,000 tickets bought by those wanting to immerse themselves in the vibrant offerings and atmosphere of Al Ghorrah. The closing night saw a performance by singer-songwriter Namira, while Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra and QF’s Qatar Music Academy performed Fusha Tunes – a medley of Arabic Fusha songs, daily parade with its combination of traditional music and colourful costumes, and cultural experiences from the Levant, Iraq, and Morocco. “This year, we were thrilled to witness an exceptional turnout, with attendees from diverse backgrounds joining us to explore the richness of Arab-Islamic civilisations alongside other cultures,” Hend M al-Thawadi, engagement and activation lead, QF, said. During Al Ghorrah, highlights for the thousands of people who flocked to Education City’s Oxygen Park included Al Feel Ya Malik Al Zaman, which saw the creative vision of director and producer Maher Salibi, and a cast including renowned actor Jamal Sulieman, bring legendary playwright Saadallah Wannous’ acclaimed play to life. Performances by Mustafa Said and the Asil Ensemble, and Yemeni orchestra Sada Alebda, as well as a Qatari-Moroccan medley featuring Asmaa Mnor were all part of the musical flavour of Al Ghorrah, while visitors also had the opportunity to watch plays performed by schools, listen to poetry readings, and participate in a range of workshops – including enabling them to try their hand at Arabic calligraphy and creating geometric patterns.
