There was an odd atmosphere on Capital Hill . or signup to continue reading A taut electric vibe tussled with a summery last-day-of-school looseness. Haggard correspondents intoned philosophic, wearily resigned to their designation as villains in the febrile digital colosseum of political combat. With an unholy crush in the Senate - 31 bills passed on one day and 45 for the week - nervous but footloose lower house MPs killed time. Ministers floated between offices, affecting calm in that way trial lawyers do after closing arguments when everything hangs on a curmudgeonly judge or an inscrutable jury. The Speaker, Milton Dick, expressed his thanks to the sprawling complex's thousands of staff for keeping operational what Anthony Albanese described as "the most visited building in Australia". And it certainly seemed "most-visited" at Aussies on Thursday morning - the roiling social hub where over three decades, Dom Calabria and his father Tony have furnished coffee and meals to stressed press gallery journos, MPs, PMs and frontbenchers, and an infinity of lobbyists and public officials. In their ritual post-question time speeches before the summer break - a bilateral nod to civility dubbed "the hypocrisies" by one scribe - Albanese and Peter Dutton praised old Tony's 28-year stint at Aussies. "Tony is the man who did so much to enhance the seat of democracy here," Albanese remarked warmly to his fellow "Italo-Australian" looking up to the public gallery where three generations of Calabrias watched on. Dutton lauded the ailing 84-year-old's migrant story having emigrated at just 14. "He has worked every day since then, he has educated his children, he has provided a role model and has given that love to his family that has created a remarkable legacy," Dutton said. In other comments, Albanese revealed that he and Dutton did not hate each other after all. He noted that while he had visited Morrison's office only once as opposition leader (a startling factoid since the global pandemic occasioned a bipartisanship likened to wartime), Dutton had been into Albanese's prime ministerial suite, well, "more often than I'd like". Cue laughter. Yet coursing impatiently under all this ersatz chumminess, was the existential fight to come. Each knows that within months, one will be up, the other, finished. Since the Second World War, it has occupied the Treasury benches for just 29 years. Nonetheless, Labor goes into next year's election comforted by electoral history and shielded by an unofficial "Swiss G]guard" of community independents. But that historical precedent - every first-term federal government since 1932 has secured a second term - may amount to nothing in this disintermediated age of antisocial media and permanent grievance. For the 93 years since the rookie Scullin Labor government crashed along with everything else in the Great Depression, incumbency has been a winged keel. Australian voters have tended to pick and stick, at least once. Now though, around the democratic world in 2024, the vogue is to "pick then kick". But what about that Swiss guard of independents? Albanese's worst-case scenario is that one or all of the first-term teals lose. Another risk is that some back a Dutton executive. Currently Labor has 78 seats to the Coalition's 58. Dutton needs a net gain of 18 seats to govern in his own right. A huge task. Polls suggest the most likely outcome is a minority parliament. Labor could lose half a dozen seats to Dutton's Liberals and still be close enough to credibly seek crossbench commitments for supply and confidence. But what would the teal independents do - who would they prefer to form government? The lesson from the minority Gillard period is that indies who hold conservative seats but back progressive governments face extinction themselves. In this light,, it may be instructive to consult the AEC's "two-party preferred" exercise, in which it allocated all 151 "Reps" seats to either of the two major parties (irrespective of whether the seat actually fell to a third party). Unsurprisingly, it shows that preferences for either of the two majors (ahead of the other) favoured the Liberals by the following percentages in teal seats: Curtin (5.4), Goldstein (4.8), Kooyong (4.1 ), Mackellar (8.6), Warringah (1.4), Wentworth (5.9). These pro-Liberal margins may even expand in a 2025 election devoid of the unpopular Morrison. Yet this cuts both ways. In formerly safe Labor Fowler, Dai Le (assuming she survives) would have to ignore a strong Labor proclivity in her seat to back a Dutton-led minority government. Another outlier is Alexander Downer's erstwhile stronghold of Mayo, held by the centre-right indie Rebekah Sharkie. Her Adelaide Hills seat actually favoured Labor by 1.6 per cent in 2022. In all three of the Queensland seats filched by the Greens in 2022, voters preferred Labor - even the two secured from the LNP, Brisbane and Ryan. Nationally, the polls show a busy and productive Labor trailing Dutton's detail-light rhetorical assault over cost of living and immigration. The hardline Queenslander is a more effective political communicator than even his own colleagues thought when they overlooked him in 2018. In 2025, Labor remains the narrow favourite. But its hardheads recognise that no opposition leader is unelectable, no historical precedent immutable, and no seat lead impregnable.

The Hoosiers will look for more of the same Friday night in Bloomington when they continue their homestand against nonconference foe Miami (Ohio). Four players scored in double figures for Indiana (6-2) against the Bearkats, including 18 from reserve Luke Goode. The Illinois transfer hit four 3-pointers in less than four minutes of the first half, enabling the Hoosiers to take a 34-12 lead. Led by Goode, Indiana's bench contributed a whopping 36 points. "I thought it was a total team effort on everybody's part," Hoosiers coach Mike Woodson said. "Helps when your bench come off and play the way they did. Goode was fantastic but everybody off the bench played well." Indiana also got an encouraging 19-point performance from point guard Myles Rice, who struggled a bit in the first seven games in terms of making shots and running the offense. Rice (11.1 ppg) is one of four double-figure scorers in an attack led by Mackenzie Mgbako (16.8). Meanwhile, the RedHawks (5-2) are coming off a 73-60 home win Monday against Air Force. Bellarmine transfer Peter Suder poured in a career-high 42 points on 17-of-21 shooting, the highest-scoring game in program history since Wally Szczerbiak scored 43 in 1999. Suder, who averaged 10.5 ppg as a sophomore last season, is up to 17.4 ppg this season. He's hitting 58.8 percent of his field goals while also chipping in 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals. "I always say players win games, man. Coaches lose games," Miami coach Travis Steele told the Journal-News. "Peter was phenomenal. It was just get out of the way and just let him go." Forward Kam Craft, who Steele landed out of high school when he was still coaching at Xavier, is the RedHawks' second-leading scorer at 14.1 ppg. The Hoosiers have won 22 of the previous 25 meetings, including an 86-56 rout two years ago in Indianapolis. --Field Level MediaNew Delhi: External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar on Saturday attended the launch of Indian historian Vikram Sampath 's book 'Tipu Sultan: The Saga of the Mysore Interregnum ' at the Indian Habitat Centre here in Delhi. Jaishankar described Tipu Sultan as a "very complex figure in history," highlighting both his resistance to British colonial control and the controversial aspects of his rule. Speaking at the event, Jaishankar said, "Tipu Sultan is actually a very, very complex figure in history. On the one hand, he has the reputation as a key figure who resisted the British colonial control over India, and it is a fact that his defeat and death can be considered a turning point when it came to the fate of peninsular India." However, Jaishankar also noted the "adverse" effects of Tipu Sultan's rule in the Mysore region. "At the same time, he evokes strong adverse sentiments even today in many regions, some in Mysore itself," he added. Jaishankar further emphasized that Indian history has focused more on Tipu Sultan's battles with the British, and "underplaying" or "neglecting" other aspects of his rule. "Contemporary history writing, certainly at the national level, has focused largely on the former, and underplaying, if not neglecting the later. Let's be honest, this was not an accident," he said. Asserting that History is complicated, Jaishankar said that "cherry-picking of facts" in the case of Tipu Sultan has led to the advancement of a "political narrative".

This has happened in the case of Tipu Sultan. By highlighting the Tipu-English binary, to the exclusion of a more complicated reality, a particular narrative has been advanced over the years," he said. Jaishankar reaffirmed that under PM Modi's government, India has seen the emergence of alternative perspectives. "In the last 10 years, the changes in our political dispensation have led to the emergence of alternative perspectives. We are no longer prisoners of a vote bank, nor it is politically incorrect to bring out inconvenient truth," he added. Speaking further about the book, Jaishankar said, "As someone from the diplomatic world, I was really struck by info and insights which are provided in this volume on Tipu Sultan. We in India have tendered to mainly study post-independence foreign policy -- perhaps this too was a conscious choice. But the fact is that many of our kingdoms and states forayed into international affairs in previous centuries in pursuance of thier particular interests, and some, by the way, continued to do so even till independence. The interaction of Tipu's missionary with their French and English counterparts is really fascinating." Jaishankar concluded by saying that open-minded scholarship and genuine debate are central to India's evolution as a pluralistic society and vibrant democracy.

Canada’s dried flower exports have seen impressive growth, doubling year-over-year in 3Q24, with the sector hitting record levels in October. According to Pablo Zuanic , senior analyst at Zuanic & Associates , “The strong growth in dried flower exports signals a thriving international market, with Germany emerging as a key driver.” Get Benzinga's exclusive analysis and the top news about the cannabis industry and markets daily in your inbox for free. Subscribe to our newsletter here . You can’t afford to miss out if you're serious about the business. Record-Breaking October And Strong 3Q Growth In October 2024, Canadian dried flower exports reached an all-time high of $20.18 million, positioning Canada's export market to surpass $187.5 million by the end of 2024, compared to $120 million in 2023 and $96 million in 2022. For 3Q24, exports totaled C$69 million, a 106% year-over-year increase and a 19% quarter-over-quarter rise. Zuanic forecasts that Q4 2024 will see further growth, potentially reaching C$85 million, a year-over-year jump of 87%. Germany And Australia Lead Export Growth While Australia remains the largest importer of Canadian dried flowers, Germany is rapidly gaining ground. In 3Q24, Germany accounted for 26% of total Canadian dried flower exports, a significant increase from 28% in the previous year. Notably, sales to Germany , including reshipments from Portugal, were responsible for about half of the export growth during the quarter. Zuanic points out , "Germany's stock-outs and tight inventories reflect ongoing demand, suggesting strong growth ahead for the market.” Average export prices for dried flowers in 3Q24 stood at $1.58 per gram, a decrease from $1.67 per gram in Q2 but up from $1.46 per gram in Q3 2023. Export prices to Germany were notably higher at $2.55 per gram, up from $2.39 per gram in Q2, highlighting the lucrative nature of the German market . Zuanic also highlighted the performance of key players in the export space. "Aurora’s ACB exports come entirely from Canada, while Curaleaf CURLF ships from Canada to Portugal for EU GMP processing," he noted. Read Also: Europe Is Turning Cash Flow Positive, ‘We’ll See What Happens In The U.S.,’ Says Curaleaf’s Boris Jordan Extracts Market Shows Less Consistent Growth While dried flower exports have flourished, the growth of Canada’s cannabis extracts , including oils and vapes , has been more erratic. Exports of extracts totaled $32.02 million for the first nine months of 2024, down from $41.7 million in the same period of 2023. Notably, flower exports now vastly outpace extracts. In 2023, flower exports were more than twice the value of extracts, but by 3Q24, dried flower exports were nearly six times the size of extracts. Zuanic explains, "As medical cannabis markets deregulate, dried flower exports are likely to continue driving overall growth, especially in Germany.” Read Also: $2.9B European Cannabis Market: A Strategic Blueprint For Cross-Border Transportation Logistics Down The Commodity Lane What does Zuanic's analysis teach other markets? We could argue that while Canada leads in cannabis exports, it remains heavily reliant on the commoditization of raw flowers, which risks the deterioration of exchange terms over time, especially as European countries begin to extract oil locally rather than purchasing Canadian cannabis oil. Emerging cannabis economies like Colombia , Argentina , and South Africa must avoid this trap by investing in value-added industries such as oils, extracts, and vapes, to ensure they aren't relegated to supplying just raw materials. By focusing on developing local processing and product innovation, they can capture a larger share of the global cannabis value chain and secure more sustainable, profitable growth in the future.

Get ready for a game-changer in the world of mini PCs! ASUS is preparing to launch its highly anticipated ROG NUC 2025, a powerful and compact gaming system that promises to push the boundaries of performance and cooling. Equipped with Intel’s upcoming “Arrow Lake-H” processors and NVIDIA’s awaited “RTX 50” series, this new model promises to cater to demanding gamers and tech enthusiasts. The ROG NUC 2025 is the latest evolution in ASUS’s prestigious lineup of gaming PCs, featuring top-of-the-line components. An exciting detail leaked on Chinese platform Weibo shows a design slightly revised from its predecessor. With rumors hinting at an enhanced cooling solution, possibly due to an additional fan, this NUC model ensures optimal performance without overheating issues. Under the hood, the ROG NUC 2025 is expected to sport the Core Ultra 200H series CPUs, potentially the flagship Core Ultra 9 285H processor, a step up from the Meteor Lake architecture. Complementing the CPU is the move to NVIDIA’s desktop RTX 50 series, replacing the RTX 4060 and 4070 used in prior models. This shift symbolizes a leap in graphical prowess, hinting at the inclusion of an RTX 5060 or 5070. Notably, the front panel of the ROG NUC 2025 reveals modern connectivity options, including USB Type-A and Type-C ports. Missing, however, is the card reader available in earlier versions. As anticipation builds for CES 2025, details like release dates and pricing are yet to be announced. Nonetheless, expect a price tag north of the previous model’s $2000, given the advanced specifications and features. Unveiling ASUS ROG NUC 2025: A Compact Powerhouse Poised to Revolutionize Gaming The ASUS ROG NUC 2025 is emerging as a groundbreaking mini PC, set to redefine performance and efficiency in the world of compact gaming systems. This highly anticipated release boasts cutting-edge specifications that align with evolving tech trends, promising to cater to both discerning gamers and tech aficionados.

This latest advancement offers a significant improvement in performance over the previous Meteor Lake architecture. Complementing this CPU innovation, the mini PC houses NVIDIA’s upcoming “RTX 50” series GPUs—likely incorporating the RTX 5060 or 5070—ushering in superior graphical performance and visual fidelity. Additional innovations in the ROG NUC 2025 include a slightly redesigned chassis as per leaks on China’s Weibo platform. The system incorporates enhanced cooling mechanisms, potentially through an additional fan, to ensure peak performance under heavy loads without overheating. Connectivity and Design The front panel design emphasizes modern connectivity. It includes both USB Type-A and Type-C ports, providing versatile options for peripheral compatibility. However, this iteration forgoes the card reader found in previous models, aligning with the trend towards wireless and cloud-based data solutions. Market Predictions and Pricing Insights As we approach CES 2025, anticipation for the ROG NUC 2025 grows, with enthusiasts eager for official announcements on release dates and pricing. Given the anticipated high-end components and performance capabilities, market experts predict a starting price exceeding $2000, surpassing its predecessor. This follows a general trend in the rising costs of advanced gaming hardware given the increasing demand for powerful, compact systems. Trend Analysis and Market Position The ROG NUC 2025 is expected to set new standards in the mini PC market, appealing to a niche segment of gamers seeking desktop-grade performance in a compact form factor. This release underscores ASUS’s commitment to innovation and performance, reinforcing its position as a leader in the gaming technology space. By marrying compact design with uncompromising power, the ROG NUC 2025 not only caters to the immediate needs of the gaming community but also anticipates future gaming and multimedia demands. To learn more about ASUS’s technological innovations, visit the ASUS official website . Conclusion The ASUS ROG NUC 2025 is shaping up to be a transformative product in the mini PC landscape.

Pune: The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) faces objection from residents in acquiring land for its solid waste transfer stations planned across the city. The civic body has proposed a ₹ 46-crore project to set up 16 stations. The solid waste transfer stations serve as hubs where waste collected in small vehicles is transferred to big garbage compactors before it is transported to the Moshi garbage depot. The PCMC’s plan to set up the stations in areas like Pimpri, Akurdi, Nigdi and Chinchwad could not kick off as residents expressed concerns over the proximity of these facilities to residential neighbourhoods. Sanjay Kulkarni, chief engineer (environment), PCMC, said, “The stations are designed using advanced technology to ensure it does not affect neighbourhood and eliminate the transfer of waste in the open.” Despite public opposition, PCMC has constructed three stations in Gawalimatha, Kalewadi, and Kasarwadi and work is on to set up the facility in Sangvi and Kiwale. According to a civic official, the estimated construction and machinery cost of each station is ₹ 2 crore.

EDUCATION | GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS When Massachusetts voters decided to ditch the state's standardized tests as a high school graduation requirement on Election Day, they joined a trend that has steadily chipped away at the use of high-stakes tests over the past two decades. The vote on the ballot question leaves only seven states with mandatory graduation exams, a number that could soon shrink further. A backlash to standardized tests has been fueled by complaints they take up too much classroom time and questions about how well they measure readiness for college or careers. It gained steam in recent years with concerns about equity and learning setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Massachusetts, a teachers union led the campaign against the graduation requirement, arguing it was keeping too many students from receiving a diploma and weighing too heavily on choices about school curriculum. The other side received backing from prominent business leaders including former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and state officials including Gov. Maura Healey, a Democrat. "We shouldn't have different expectations for students depending on which ZIP code they live in," Healey said. "We should have a uniformity to our expectations and they should be high for our students and our families." The Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System tests are given in mathematics, science and technology, and English. The ballot question didn't end the tests, which are also used for assessing student progress. But passing them will no longer be required for a diploma. About 1% of high school seniors in Massachusetts, roughly 700 students, are denied a diploma each year because they failed the MCAS despite meeting other requirements. Most are English language learners or students with disabilities. In the mid-2000s, a high of 27 states required students to pass an exam to graduate, according to the National Education Association, the nation's largest teachers union. The states that still have them, for now, are New York, Florida, Louisiana, Ohio, New Jersey, Texas and Virginia. In New York, state officials this month proposed a timeline to phase out exit exam requirements as part of an overhaul of graduation standards. Students would still take Regents exams in math, English, science and social studies, but beginning in the 202728 school year, passing scores would no longer be required for a diploma. The plan would give students alternatives like community service or capstone projects to demonstrate proficiency. Earlier this year, the Florida Senate passed a bill that would remove testing requirements for high school graduation, but the push stalled in the House. In New Jersey, a bill to end the state's graduation exam passed the state Assembly last year but then failed to pass the Senate. In Ohio, students must pass tests in reading, writing, mathematics, science and social studies to graduate. Louisiana also requires students to pass a test and is the only state without an appeals process. In Texas, students must pass end-of-course assessments in algebra, English, biology and U.S. history. Harry Feder, executive director of FairTest, which opposes the use of tests as graduation requirements, said it makes sense to shift away from the tests he calls a "cheap and easy way" to conduct education. "What we want out of high school grads isn't measured very well by a standardized test," he said, including whether students are critical thinkers, problem solvers or able to collaborate. Critics say easing the graduation requirement will result in lower standards. "The vote against the MCAS is yet another sign of the overwhelming power of the teachers unions in blue states, and will turn Massachusetts diplomas into nothing but participation trophies," said Michael Petrilli, president of the right-leaning Fordham Institute. Financial support for the elimination of the Massachusetts test requirement largely came from teachers unions, including the Massachusetts Teachers Association, which contributed millions in direct and in-kind donations, and the NEA, which donated at least $500,000. On the other side, Bloomberg contributed $2.5 million to the campaign in favor of keeping the requirement. Massachusetts Teachers Association President Max Page and Vice President Deb McCarthy said teachers have been speaking out against the requirement for more than a decade. "Students who were passing their courses were being denied diplomas because of this requirement," they said. "Educators were forced to narrow the curriculum in order to teach to the high-stakes test." Ultimately, Massachusetts voters approved getting rid of the MCAS as a graduation requirement by a margin of 59% to 41%.
