The Airport Zone Police in Visakhapatnam have arrested Venu Bhaskara Reddy, a key member of a criminal gang led by Joy Jamina, which targeted wealthy married men in an extortion scheme. According to the police, Venu Bhaskara Reddy cohabited with Jamima and directly participated in attacks on victims. Jamima, aged 27, lured affluent men through social media with promises of love and marriage. Once she gained their trust, she would invite them to secluded locations, where her gang would drug them, take compromising photographs, and extort large sums of money under the threat of releasing the images online. The police had been tracking Reddy for some time as he had been evading capture. He was apprehended following a coordinated operation involving multiple police teams.Car burned after graffiti sprayed to 'strike fear'Charlotte, N.C., Appoints Markell Storay as City CIO

MONTOGMERY, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama man who detonated a homemade explosive device outside the state attorney general's office was sentenced to nine years in federal prison on Thursday. Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, 27, plead guilty in August to the charge of malicious use of an explosive device. Calvert admitted to constructing the bomb out of nails, firecrackers and screws, and then blowing it up outside Republican Attorney General Steve Marshall’s office in the early morning hours of Saturday, Feb. 24, prosecutors said. No people were hurt, and nearby buildings in downtown Montgomery were not damaged. Remnants of the bomb were not discovered until the following Monday, according to a statement from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. Law enforcement arrested Calvert two weeks later. “Acts of violence like this one against our public institutions endanger public servants and entire communities, and they must not be tolerated,” said U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. Calvert's attorneys did not respond to an emailed request for comment on Thursday. Prosecutors said that Calvert had placed stickers reflecting a wide range of political ideologies around the area, some of which included the phrase, “Support your local antifa.” But Calvert said he does not have any “affiliation with antifa" in his plea deal.

Located just five kilometers from Pirizpur, a well-connected area with electricity and internet access, Char Asariadaha remains untouched by modern infrastructure. The lack of electricity has severely hampered the union's progress, leaving its residents isolated from the benefits of contemporary civilization. The residents said that in 2015, the non-governmental organization Avha, with technical assistance from the government’s Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL), established a solar power plant in the union under the Avha Mini-Grid Project. The project provided electricity to 1,300 households, but residents faced exorbitant rates—more than double the regular electricity cost—while enduring inconsistent power supply. The initiative was discontinued in mid-June this year due to financial losses, leaving the union entirely without electricity once again. Imam Hossain, a Dhaka University student and resident of Char Asariadaha, described the challenges, "The mini-grid project didn't benefit the majority. Out of 100 homes, perhaps only 20 had access, and even they didn't receive uninterrupted power. Our union needs 7 to 10 megawatts of electricity but the project provided only 60 kilowatts." Efforts to secure a sustainable power solution have been ongoing, with residents appealing to the Northern Electricity Supply Company (NESCO). However, proposals to establish a solar plant have raised concerns due to the potential impact on agriculture, as such projects require large tracts of land. Instead, residents advocate for a 10-megawatt power line via submarine cables across the Padma River. Char Ashariadaha Union Parishad chairman Ashraful Islam stated that discussions with NESCO are ongoing. "NESCO is conducting surveys and considering options such as solar plants, towers, or cables. A final decision is pending," he said. Yasir Arafat, the supervising engineer for NESCO's Rajshahi region, confirmed that plans are under review. "Our chief engineer, Mizanur Rahman, is overseeing the matter. We are evaluating permanent solutions, such as submarine cables or other methods, to ensure sustainable electricity for the area," he said.

The stock began 2024 mired in a multi-year slump, as investors grew increasingly concerned about the company's ability to maintain a fast pace of growth. As recently as late May, Tesla was changing hands at around $182 per share, down some 55% from a November 2021 peak of $409.97. Sentiment became more positive thanks to a strong third quarter, notes Morningstar strategist Seth Goldstein. Following Election Day, the stock rocketed higher. On Nov. 5, Tesla closed at $251.44. Since then, it's risen more than 73%, hitting a new all-time high of $436.23 per share. "The election of Donald Trump has been viewed extremely positively for Tesla, as CEO Elon Musk will be an adviser to Trump. Musk could help shape policies, such as autonomous driving regulations, that could remove regulatory hurdles for Tesla's Robotaxi business," Goldstein says. Tesla's Strong Q3 Earnings Tesla's most recent results offered an improved picture from earlier in the year, when profit margins fell to multi-year lows and investors increasingly questioned its growth trajectory. Goldstein notes that in the third quarter, Tesla posted solid growth in deliveries and, critically, an expansion in profit margins within the automotive segment. "Management also guided to 20%-30% deliveries growth in 2025, which implies Tesla's deliveries will continue to see strong growth in the coming years," he says. Additionally, Tesla announced it plans to begin testing its full self-driving mode unsupervised in Texas and California in 2025. "This is a key step toward making Robotaxis a reality, which is driving enthusiasm for the stock," Goldstein says. Tesla's Growth Outlook Despite the optimism... Meicheng Lu
