In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you'll want to find Zonai Device Dispensers in order to trade your Construct Horns or Zonai Charges for portable Zonai Devices--colloquially known as all the cool stuff the ancient civilization left behind. Things like wings, fans, flame emitters, and more can be used to make some truly incredible contraptions, and even in the game's first week since launch, we've seen some remarkable feats of engineering. But none of it is possible without Zonai Devices. In order to stay stocked up on those items, here's where to find Device Dispensers all over Tears of the Kingdom. Zelda Device Dispenser locations Device Dispensers are sort of like gumball machines--in fact, they're very obviously made to look and behave like them. Go into your inventory and choose to hold up to five Zonai Charges or Construct Horns--like you would when cooking--and out will roll random Zonai Devices. The more tradeable items you have, the more you can stock up on Zonai Devices, so it's important to pick them up whenever you can--they're often dropped by enemies. We've found many Device Dispensers in our travels, and though we suspect there are even more tucked away, the number of Device Dispenser locations we have already gives you plenty of options for pit stops during your travels. Use our gallery of images below to find the one nearest to where you are--or where you're heading--and get trading. Also note that most Device Dispensers we've found have been in the sky region, so you'll need to know how to get to the sky once you've left Great Sky Island. Just a few Zonai Charges can result in an embarrassment of Zonai riches. Just a few Zonai Charges can result in an embarrassment of Zonai riches.

Hawken is back!(opens in new tab) Except that it really isn't. 505 Games has taken the corpse of the fantastic mech PvP romp—which died well before its time—and turned it into an ugly PvE game that I've had to stop playing because the broken mouse sensitivity and overenthusiastic cockpit animation have hammered my head. I knew I'd need to temper my expectations when it was announced that Hawken Reborn was a PvE-only affair. No more thrilling fights against human-piloted mechs for me. But multiplayer wasn't the only thing that I loved about the original Hawken. The impeccable art, sound design and the lumbering feel of the mechs also played a big role. It had this wonderful ability to conjure up compelling, fast-paced brawls that still managed to feel tactical and considered. None of this is evident in Hawken Reborn, sadly. The early access version features six story missions and a more open-ended patrol mode, all set in the same zone. It's hideous. It's a cluttered mess that's cursed with an art style that makes everything look like dirt. The original Hawken had such a strong look and was dense with atmosphere, without sacrificing the clarity of its maps, but this doesn't even reach the level of a pale imitation. It simply has no visual identity. Sponsored Links If You Need To Relax On Your Computer, You Have To Play This Game. No Install Elvenar It's a cluttered mess that's cursed with an art style that makes everything look like dirt. Worse: piloting your mech is deeply unpleasant. Hawken's mechs had real heft. Even when you were going fast, you always felt aware of just how massive your beast of a machine was. In Hawken Reborn, the mechs are floaty and jittery. The hypnotic motion of the cockpit has been replaced by a metal prison where everything wobbles and spasms, while the overly-sensitive mouse controls forced me to stop playing because they made me feel so nauseous. Changing mouse sensitivity currently does absolutely nothing. RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU... CLOSE The sound design doesn't fare much better, making projectiles feel insubstantial as you pour them into suicidal enemy mechs. Fighting very simple AI foes means you never experience the thrills and tension present in the original. You also need to fight through lots and lots of tiny human troops, drones and turrets, which is even less satisfying. Just give me a meaty mech brawl, 505. Hawken Reborn fight (Image credit: 505 Games) I just have nothing good to say at all. The UI? Bad. The missions? Bad. The cutscenes? Bad. The cash shop that's up and running before 505 have even added customisable controls? Very, very bad. Who is this even for? Hawken wasn't such a big deal that it can coast by on the name, and this clearly hasn't been designed for fans of the original. The whole thing is just bizarre. On Steam, user reviews(opens in new tab) are currently sitting at mostly negative, and the only surprise there is that it means a small number of people are actually enjoying themselves. I do not know how this is possible. The cash shop has been criticised extensively by players, along with bugs, crashes and all the disappointments I noted above. It's also been suggested by players that the cutscenes are AI-generated, and if they aren't, the art team sure is trying to emulate the oddities of AI art. In a word: shit. Hawken Reborn fight (Image credit: 505 Games) Even if you never fell for the original, there's not much to keep your interest here. I'd be willing to accept big design changes if they generated compelling mech fights or gave me some novelties to draw me in, but what 505 has made is just too generic to stand out. The only thing I'm going to remember about it in a few months is the disappointment. What's deeply tragic about this situation is that we could have had a real Hawken comeback. 505 had the opportunity to resurrect something awesome that never quite found a large enough audience. Instead we've got this, and it's hard to imagine anything good coming out of the early access version. Since it's free-to-play, 505 will likely be relying on the cash shop to fund it, at least in part, and I just don't see many people being willing to spend money on this after they've played it. https://www.pcgamer.com/hawken-reborn-isnt-a-comeback-for-the-brilliant-mech-fps-its-a-total-disaster/

PTI Chairman Imran Khan (left) and US lawmaker Maxine Waters can be seen in this illustration. — Canva An alleged audio leak purportedly featuring Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and US Congresswoman Maxine Moore Waters emerged on social media on Saturday. In the alleged audio, Khan — who accused the United States of engineering his ouster from power in April last year — can purportedly be heard seeking US Congresswoman help against an ongoing crackdown on his party workers and leaders. The alleged audio leak featuring Khan and US Congresswomen Maxine Moore Waters emerged on social media on Saturday wherein the former could be heard asking the American lawmakers to raise her against “human rights violation” in Pakistan. “[This is] probably one of the most critical times in our history. We have most bizarre situation going on in this country,” the former premier purportedly told other person in the audio believed to be US congresswoman. Alleged audio leak reveals Khan sought US lawmaker Maxine Moore’s help to highlight “rights violations” in Pakistan By Web DeskMay 20, 2023 PTI Chairman Imran Khan (left) and US lawmaker Maxine Waters can be seen in this illustration. — Canva PTI Chairman Imran Khan (left) and US lawmaker Maxine Waters can be seen in this illustration. — Canva An alleged audio leak purportedly featuring Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and US Congresswoman Maxine Moore Waters emerged on social media on Saturday.

In the 1.57 minutes-long audio leak, the PTI chairman briefed the US lawmakers about his ouster from power and subsequent crackdown on his party workers. “I received three bullets in one assassination attempt. My government was removed by ex-army chief army [General Qamar Javed Bajwa] because military establishment is very powerful here. He conspired with people who are in power currently and toppled my government,” he alleged in the leaked conversation. Khan added that his party was facing “worst crackdown” which according to him no democratic party had ever faced in the country’s history. While requesting Congresswoman Waters to issue statement in his party’s favour, Khan said: “We would appreciate here because it goes a long way when someone like you Maxine give a statement.” “All we want is just rule of law and Constitution and fundamental rights. We just want a statement highlighting [crackdown] and that would really help us when someone like you Maxine speaks up it makes a lot of waves,” he added. The alleged audio came in the backdrop of ongoing crackdown on PTI workers and leaders after they resorted to violent protests following party chief Imran Khan's arrest on May 9 in graft case. Thousands of party workers and leaders have been arrested for allegedly ransacking and torching public and military installations across the country during the nearly three-day long protests. At least 10 people were killed and dozens others injured during the riots with civil and military leadership of the country declaring the unprecedented violence as "black chapter" in the country's history and vowed to try the rioters under Army Act and other relevant laws of the country.

Proposals for the reintroduction of lynx to Scotland are to be discussed by MSPs at Holyrood. The wild cats were once native to Britain, but were driven to extinction 500 to 1,000 years ago. A group of conservation organisations believe bringing back lynx would benefit ecotourism and help control roe deer where they damage woodland. But farmers' union NFU Scotland said any proposals to reintroduce lynx were unacceptable to farmers and crofters. Ariane Burgess, Scottish Greens MSP for the Highland and Islands, will help to lead the discussion during the Lynx to Scotland event at the Scottish parliament later. Opinions divided over reintroduction of lynx Into the wild: Could lynx return to Scotland? MSPs, senior advisors and rural groups are set to attend. Rewilding charities Scotland: The Big Picture, Trees for Life and The Lifescape Project have organised the event. They said research suggested the Highlands could support about 400 wild Eurasian lynx. Peter Cairns, executive director of Scotland: The Big Picture, said: "It's good news that politicians and policy makers are now seriously discussing the return of lynx, which would have strong public support. "Scotland is one of the poorest places on Earth for nature, and if we are serious about tackling the nature and climate emergencies, these conversations really matter." The potential for reintroducing lynx was debated in Holyrood last week, after a parliamentary motion by SNP MSP Kenneth Gibson received cross-party support. The motion noted calls on the Scottish government to rectify lynx extinction in Scotland by a managed reintroduction, following appropriate assessments. NFU Scotland said there were concerns about the impact of lynx on livestock. A spokesman said: "The past few years have seen a long line of brazen and presumptuous claims from organisations about the imminent reintroduction of predators to the UK. "The only application to date, to reintroduce lynx to Kielder in the North of England, was rejected." Last year, the first detailed social feasibility study into a trial reintroduction of lynx to Scotland found divided opinions. The Lynx to Scotland project commissioned the research in the Cairngorms National Park and Argyll. The study found opposition among rural residents and workers. The perceived benefits included ecotourism and lynx helping to control roe deer numbers in areas where they damage woodland, but there were concerns that lynx could prey on livestock. According to the researchers, there was very little concern that the cats posed any danger to people. Eurasian lynx are found in the wild in western Europe, Russia and central Asia.

The Lotus Emira has only just launched, but work is already advancing on the all-electric model that ultimately will replace it. Currently known only by the internal design code Type 135, the two-seat sports car will be clearly aimed at the bit of the market the British manufacturer is most associated with. Basically, it's an EV successor to the Elan and Elise. Whereas Lotus plans to engineer its SUVs and sedan in Germany and produce them in China, the brand is developing the Type 135 in the U.K. and intends to produce the model at its longtime home in Hethel, initially alongside the Emira. The sports car will be the first model to use Lotus's new LEVA platform—that's Lightweight Electric Vehicle Architecture—that combines a bonded-aluminum structure with a so-called "chest battery" mounted behind the passenger compartment rather than under the floor. A cast-aluminum subframe behind it serves as the mounting point for the control-arm rear suspension and the motor. Lotus insiders say the Type 135 will use a single axial-flux motor producing up to 470 horsepower and driving the rear wheels. Power will come courtesy of a 66.4-kWh battery pack. The LEVA platform will also support a brawnier twin-motor, all-wheel-drive configuration, but that's being reserved for a larger and more expensive model. Simplified, with Added Lightness The Type 135 version will be the lightest and simplest—two classic Lotus qualities. Although the mass of the battery pack means it will weigh more than its gasoline-powered predecessors, the Type 135 is still anticipated to come in at less than 3300 pounds. It will launch as a coupe in 2025, later followed by a roadster. Renault subsidiary Alpine is also planning to use the LEVA platform as the basis for its next-generation electric sports car, one that the company hopes to sell in the States. Philippe Krief, Ferrari's recently departed R&D boss, will develop that version, so we can experience the same core package in two different guises. As for the name, that could be hiding in plain sight, given the British brand's need to start every model with the letter E. Add that to LEVA and you get Eleva, which means "to raise" in several Romance languages. [https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43592400/lotus-type-135/]

Cleveland Browns owners hailed Brown as icon of team and entire NFL, recognising his status as one of the greatest players in league history By Web DeskMay 20, 2023 Jim Browns final chapter leaves sports world in mourning. Twitter/NFL Jim Brown's final chapter leaves sports world in mourning. Twitter/NFL Jim Brown, the legendary Cleveland Browns running back and civil rights icon, has passed away at the age of 87. His family confirmed the news, stating that he died peacefully at his home in Los Angeles. Brown's wife, Monique, expressed their grief, highlighting his role as a loving husband, father, and grandfather. The Cleveland Browns owners, Jimmy and Dee Haslem, hailed Brown as an icon of the team and the entire NFL, recognising his status as one of the greatest players in league history. During his career with the Browns from 1957 to 1965, Brown established himself as a dominant force in the NFL. He led the league in rushing for eight seasons and amassed an impressive 12,312 rushing yards, averaging 5.2 yards per carry. Brown's achievements also included three MVP awards and leading the Browns to the NFL championship game three times, securing the title in 1964. Born in St. Simons Island, Georgia, in 1936, Brown's athletic prowess extended beyond football. He excelled in multiple sports during high school and continued his success as a multi-sport athlete at Syracuse University. His football career gained momentum, and upon joining the Browns in 1957, he made an immediate impact under coach Paul Brown's guidance. Brown's rookie season was marked by outstanding performances, culminating in him being named the league's MVP, a feat unmatched by any other rookie. Brown's retirement from football at the age of 30 surprised many. He expressed a desire for more mental stimulation and a desire to contribute to the struggle for equality in the country. Subsequently, he founded the Negro Industrial and Economic Union, which aimed to support black entrepreneurs and advance equal opportunities for African Americans. Brown's commitment to social initiatives outside of his sport earned him recognition as a role model for fellow athletes, inspiring them to make a difference in their communities. While Brown's legacy as a football icon and civil rights advocate remains strong, his life was not without controversy. He faced legal issues throughout his career, including assault and battery charges, as well as a rape charge that was later dropped. These incidents added complexity to his public image. In addition to his athletic achievements, Brown ventured into acting and appeared in over 30 movies. His impact on and off the field solidified his status as one of the greatest athletes of all time and a pioneer for social change. The NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, paid tribute to Brown, acknowledging his contribution to the civil rights movement and his enduring legacy. Syracuse University, where Brown showcased his talents, also expressed their condolences, recognizing him as an unparalleled figure in the world of football. https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1072064-jim-browns-final-chapter-leaves-sports-world-in-mourning

It can be difficult to talk to young people about rising seas and temperatures, but a new book from Save the Children’s Wonderbooks series that tells a more personal story is helping to open up the conversation When a ferocious storm sweeps across Seima’s village and her big brother Rainsey can’t be found anywhere, it’s Seima’s tin can telephone that saves the day – and the year 3 pupils at Longsight community primary school were impressed, especially as she was only five years old at the time. “Children are capable of doing anything,” one said, when they were asked what the story of Seima and the Storm, one of the books from Save the Children’s Wonderbooks series, told them about children. “Children are brave,” volunteered another. “Children can make an impact,” came a third voice. But Seima is more than a character in a story: she’s a real little girl in Cambodia. Each story in the Wonderbooks series is based on the life of a real child who Save the Children works with in one of many countries around the world, and introduces young readers to themes such as diversity, inclusion, resilience, the effects of poverty and, in the case of Seima and the Storm, climate breakdown. This gave the teachers at Longsight the perfect way to discuss how rising temperatures and extreme weather are making life increasingly challenging for communities such as Seima’s. “For our children, it really connected us to Seima,” says Rukhsana Ahmed, the Manchester school’s executive headteacher. Seima’s floating village is on Tonlé Sap, the largest freshwater lake in south-east Asia, with a surrounding region that is home to more than a million people. Their lives have always been shaped by water, but higher temperatures, drought, pollution, overfishing by commercial trawlers and environmental damage have led to devastating drops in the fish stocks the vast majority rely on for their livelihood. “Fishing is the main source of income and food security, but climate change is making it harder and harder,” says Reaksmey Hong, Save the Children’s country director in Cambodia. “Once there’s no water, or it’s too hot, once it’s stormy or raining all day, that sole source of income is not possible – but communities here don’t have a coping mechanism for that.” Save the Children is determined to help families like Seima’s adapt to the challenges they face, and educate children on ways to take their future into their own hands. Hong says the charity is now running multiple initiatives in the region to promote access to inclusive and quality early childhood, primary and lower-secondary education. Thanks to its GREEN project, pupils now get lessons about the climate emergency and the environment, and take to the water to conduct awareness-raising campaigns and collect rubbish. Besides education, adds Hong, Save the Children is supporting the floating community in diversifying its income beyond fishing – working in partnership with them to create 2,250 new employment opportunities outside of the industry. The charity has also helped repair storm-damaged schools and installed solar powered fans to keep children cool during the dry season’s increasingly intense heat. But climate shocks still have the power to blight Cambodian children’s education. Schools hit by flash floods have been forced to close, and more than once the government has reduced school hours during heatwaves over fears about pupil health and safety. Children on Tonlé Sap travel to school by boat, and when there are storms it is sometimes simply too dangerous to go. “We talked about how climate change would impact on a child’s life at such a visceral level,” says Ahmed.

Israelis wave national flags as they gather at the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem during the Israeli ´flags march´ to mark Jerusalem Day, on May 18, 2023. — AFP Israelis wave national flags as they gather at the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem during the Israeli ´flags march´ to mark "Jerusalem Day", on May 18, 2023. — AFP Terming the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israeli occupation authorities "reprehensible", Pakistan on Saturday called upon the international community to take "urgent action" to quash "Israeli transgressions". A statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs read: "Pakistan strongly condemns [the] storming of [the] Al Aqsa Mosque by a member of the Israeli occupation authority and members of the Knesset under [the] protection of Israeli occupation forces." On Thursday, amidst high tensions on the Gaza border, tens of thousands of Israeli nationalists marched to Jerusalem's Old City in an annual flag-waving march commemorating Israel's capture of it. The FO's statement further added that the march was "yet another reprehensible event" that violated the sanctity of one of the holiest sites in Islam. It referred to the incident as another event in a "series of escalatory Israeli actions disrespectful to religious sentiments of over 1.5 billion Muslims around the world". The FO, in its statement, said: "We reiterate that such acts are inconsistent with the right to freedom of expression and religion or belief of the Palestinian people, defying all humanitarian and human rights laws and norms." The FO further urged the international community to take urgent action to "end Israeli transgressions" in the occupied territories, adding that these transgressions had been conspicuously ascendant since the beginning of this year. "We reaffirm unstinted support for the Palestinian cause and renew our call for a viable, independent and contiguous Palestinian State, with pre-1967 borders, and Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital being the only just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue," the statement concluded. The march Ahead of the Isreali march to Jerusalem's Old City, Palestinians in annexed east Jerusalem closed their shops and were banned from the Damascus Gate entrance to the Old City — a social hub — to make way for the marchers, some of whom attacked journalists with rocks and bottles, an AFP reporter said. Police said they made two arrests over the attack, one of an adult and one of a minor. Thursday's rally took place days into a ceasefire that ended deadly cross-border fighting with militants in Gaza. Thirty-three people, including multiple civilians, were killed in the blockaded Palestinian enclave and two in Israel, a citizen and a Gazan labourer. The march began in the western part of the city before passing into east Jerusalem and through the Old City to the Western Wall, where about 50,000 people took part in the Jewish evening prayer, according to local authorities. In retaliation, thousands gathered in Gaza for a rival flag day on the Israeli border, many of them holding Palestinian flags. Israeli troops fired tear gas towards anyone approaching the border fence, AFP reporters said. A Palestinian security source in Gaza said the territory's Islamist rulers, Hamas, fired a "warning rocket" into the sea, without elaborating. The day marks Israel's annexation of east Jerusalem and its Old City following the Six-Day War of 1967 — a move never recognised by the international community. https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1072186-fo-slams-israeli-flag-march-in-jerusalem-terms-it-reprehensible

'Queen Charlotte: A Story of the Bridgertons' Cinemanía 'The Bridgertons', the Netflix original series, is in the top 1 of the most watched fictions in Spain with the recent premiere of the third season 'Bridgerton: Reina Carlota'. Only a few days ago this spin-off came out and led the ranking of this platform as the most po[CENSORED]r. This historical romance series is based on Julia Quinn's bestselling novels of the same title, set in the competitive world of Regency London high society. As is typical of Netflix, each season has eight episodes. But if you have not yet entered the world of 'The Bridgertons', you still have time to catch up with the episodes and discover the true world that surrounded Queen Charlotte. If, on the other hand, you are a fan and have passed the marathon of the series, there are many curiosities, anecdotes and scenes that hide surprising secrets that you probably did not know. But this article is aimed at all audiences: whether you have seen the series or if you want to delve into it, take note of all these curiosities that cannot go unnoticed to better understand the history and customs of the Duke of Hastings, Anthony Bridgerton , Daphne or Penelope Featherington and the entire universe that surrounds 'The Bridgertons'. 1. Julie Andrews voices Lady Whistledown The po[CENSORED]r actress Julie Andrews, known for playing the iconic babysitter, Mary Poppins, or starring in the unforgettable The Sound of Music, is the voice of Lady Whistledown in the original version of the series. Andrews plays an important facet that, how could it be otherwise, is already an important symbol of 'The Bridgertons'. 2. There are two insects very present In the first season there are two insects that have a lot of weight in 'The Bridgertons' and each one hides a powerful meaning: butterflies and bees. Have you noticed it? The butterflies refer to the Featherington family and are present both in Penelope's dresses and on the stairs of her house, a symbol of gradual social growth. The bees, on the other hand, refer to the Bridgerton family, very present in sets and costumes. The meaning they have is the power enjoyed by the family.3. Queen Charlotte does not exist in the novels Queen Charlotte, played by the celebrated actress Golda Rosheuvel, does not appear in Julia Quinn's novels. Therefore, the decision to incorporate it on the screen was thanks to the producers and writers of the series. The team let it be a good idea to have a monarch in the presence, based on a real historical figure, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. 4. Princess Diana's estate, inspiration for Bridgerton House As he conceded to Chris Van Dusen on his own social networks, "the interior of Bridgerton House was inspired by my visit to Althorp when I was developing the series. Elegance. Opulence. And that #staircase." The iconic estate where Princess Lady-Di spent her teenage years. 5. Each family wears specific colors in their wardrobe The wardrobe of the series hides a certain meaning with the colors, since the different families wear suits and designs that follow a certain color range. In the case of the Bridgertons, they usually wear light, neutral or pastel colors, alluding to a higher social class, conveying elegance and fortune. The Featherington family, on the other hand, wear a wardrobe of more remarkable and striking tones. In addition, the wardrobe team is made up of more than 200 people who spend many hours a day creating each look. What's more, counting the accessories of the actors and actresses, a total of 7,500 pieces were created for 5,000 different outfits. 6. Characters with feminist winks A remarkable element for a series set in the 19th century is the nod to certain feminist approaches. But whose idea was this? How could it be otherwise, the leader was the author of the novel, whose intention was to provide the historical series with a modern touch. 7. The real Queen Charlotte was very social It is no coincidence that one of the most representative characteristics of Queen Charlotte is someone who is always alert and aware of everything. "She was definitely part of the Regency-era social scene, so having her with us was important from a historical perspective as well," Chris Van Dusen told ET Online. 8. Interior design and its link with Lady-Di In addition to the fact that Princess Diana's estate was a source of inspiration for the Bridgerton house. Another point that few know is that the interiors of the 'Bridgerton' family house are inspired by Althorp, the home where Princess Diana grew up. The finishes and all the details have a justified reference since nothing is represented without a foundation. 9. Not everything is historically real According to the producer and screenwriter Christ Van Dusen in an interview with The Daily Express: "We honor history, of course, but we are not obliged to it. Even though we are set in the 19th century, we wanted things to feel close. We wanted them to the public would see themselves reflected in these characters". Therefore, if you are a movie buff and do not lose detail of the 'Bridgerton', you will notice some historical discrepancies. 10. Queen Charlotte's hair was inspired by Beyoncé The monarch queen Carlota will change some outfits of the queen of music Beyoncé. "When I researched Queen Charlotte and found out she was of African descent, it gave me so much more scope to create her beautiful looks," Marc Pilcher told Vogue. As the series' stylist told Essence, "I was sorting through some images and then I saw Beyoncé Knowles in Austin Powers Goldmember and that's when I thought, 'That's what I want.' I wanted the biggest afro anyone had ever seen." Link: https://www.20minutos.es/cinemania/series/bridgerton-curiosidades-serie-triunfa-netflix-5126460/

The Life of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has been a topic for many books and studies. Gülen's approach to the life of Rasulullah, "the pride of humanity." is not cronical biography. It differs from other books on the Prophet in the sense that Gülen assumes a psychological and sociological analysis on the various aspects of the Prophet's life portraying him as a compassionate father, a profound spiritual leader, a wise statemen, a courageous commander, a loving husband, a most reliable and trustworthy person. Muslims are people who adhere to Islam, a monotheistic religion belonging to the Abrahamic tradition. They consider the Quran, the foundational religious text of Islam, to be the verbatim word of the God of Abraham as it was revealed to Muhammad, the main Islamic prophet.

Bestowed by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS), the Primetime Emmys are presented in recognition of excellence in American primetime television programming. The award categories are divided into three classes: the regular Primetime Emmy Awards, the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards to honor technical and other similar behind-the-scenes achievements, and the Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards for recognizing significant contributions to the engineering and technological aspects of television. First given out in 1949, the award was originally referred to as simply the "Emmy Award" until the International Emmy Award and the Daytime Emmy Award were created in the early 1970s to expand the Emmy to other sectors of the television industry. The Primetime Emmy Awards generally air every September, on the Sunday before the official start of the fall television season. Since 1995, the Emmys have been broadcast in rotation among the four major networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC), each network taking turns to air the ceremony every four years. The ceremony is typically moved to late August if it is broadcast by NBC (such as in 2006, 2010, and 2014), so that it does not conflict with NBC's commitment to broadcasting Sunday-night NFL games (due to another conflict, this time with the MTV Video Music Awards, the 2014 ceremony was also shifted to a Monday).[1] The 2018 ceremony, broadcast by NBC, was moved back to September and aired on a Top 3 Songs (Names): Other Information:-

India's government plans to take action against Alphabet's Google after an antitrust watchdog last year found the group to have abused its market position by indulging in anti-competitive practices, a top IT minister told Reuters. India's antitrust body in October fined Google $275 million (nearly Rs. 2,280 crore) in two cases, which involved abusing its dominant position in the Android operating system market, and pushing developers to use its in-app payment system. Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the federal deputy minister for information technology, told Reuters in an interview at the IT ministry in New Delhi that such findings are "serious" and cause "deep concern" to India's federal government, which will take its own action against Google. "The ministry has to take action," Chandrasekhar said. "We have thought through it. You will see it in the coming weeks. Certainly it's not something that we will leave and push under the carpet." The minister declined to specify what sort of policy or regulatory action the government could take. Chandrasekhar, who is one of the highest-ranking officials in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration, said the issue "is worrisome, not just for us, it's worrisome for the entire digital ecosystem in India". Google did not respond to a request for comment on the minister's remarks. Asked if he had held talks with Google on the issue, Chandrasekhar said "there is no need for any discussion. There is a finding of a court." While the payments case is still under appeal, an Indian tribunal in March said in response to a legal challenge that the Competition Commission of India's findings of Google's anti-competitive conduct in the Android market were correct. The comments by the minister come against a backdrop of growing tension between Indian companies and Google. India's competition watchdog has begun another inquiry into Google after Tinder owner Match Group and many startups alleged that a new service fee system Google uses for in-app payments breaches the competition commission's October decision. Google has previously said the service fee supports investments in the Google Play app store and the Android mobile operating system, ensuring it can distribute it for free. Following the Android antitrust order in India, Google was also forced make sweeping changes to how it markets its mobile operating system in the country, even though it warned "no other jurisdiction has ever asked for such far-reaching changes". About 97 percent of India's 620 million smartphones run on Android, and the company counts India as a critical growth market. Other companies such as Apple and Amazon also face cases against them for potential anti-competitive practices in India. Chandrasekhar said the government was keen to take steps to ensure India's digital economy is protected. "We don't want it to be growth in a way that distorts consumer choice or free competition," he said. "We will certainly be looking into what the government needs to do to prevent anybody, including but not limited to Google, from abusing their market power or market dominance." https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/news/google-government-india-action-over-abuse-market-position-android-app-store-4049537

In its eternal struggle to replicate features that Microsoft 365 and even Office has had for aeons, Google Docs is getting - make sure you’re sitting down - collapsible headings. This is good - it’ll keep documents from feeling cluttered or unruly, we’re just at a loss as to why it’s taken until 2023 for this to happen. The announcement(opens in new tab), posted on the Google Workspace updates blog, revealed that the change will arrive shortly for Google Workspace and Personal users but, as tends to happen to us, we found that the feature isn’t yet available for us specifically. Making a word processor fit for purpose We’re not being contrarian for clicks when we assert that Google software has always been behind the times - whether it’s deciding to chase the AI zeitgeist after Microsoft finds success in that space or still lacking reorderable headings in the document outline, meaning I much prefer to first draft long-form work in Microsoft Word. And it is a shame that Google is treating artificial intelligence (which, as we’re being urged to understand at the moment, is simply a form of machine learning) as the be all and end all. The best way to enhance a productivity tool isn’t to throw in features that trade on buzzwords and promises of a personal assistant to do your work for you. Less ambitious features, unconcerned with grabbing headlines but which are altogether more important at making work bearable. Google is obviously going for a little from column A and and a little for column B with this approach. Its happy medium is something like the “smart chips” across Google Workspace, allowing documents to contain links to other ones, files, people, or events, making them better at centralising information. The “smart chips” are good, in that “smart” here means “convenient” rather than “literally sentient”. I feel like I’m on a theme here, having written about the ills of AI in office software relatively recently, but I might like to revise what I wrote there. READ MORE > This Google Docs update will finally help get your work in the right order(opens in new tab) > Google Docs is getting its own search bar to solve all your most pressing problems(opens in new tab) > We’ve also listed the best free word processors right now(opens in new tab) It’s not so much that I need to be dazzled by innovation to keep me conscious, I just need to be able to get through the day without wanting to throw my cloud-driven office software out of the window. So, Google, take note: make it easy to export images from Docs without making me download a zipped .html file of the whole document, do the reorderable outline thing, and just generally step back in time to 2003. That all sounds reasonable. https://www.techradar.com/news/google-docs-is-getting-a-whole-lot-smarter-and-collapsable

As chip design is getting costlier and longer to develop, chip designers are turning to AI to optimize their spending and speed up time-to-market. By now, over 200 chip designs placed-and-routed using the Synopsys DSO.ai electronic design automation (EDA) software suit have been taped out and the number is growing rapidly. “By the end of 2022, adoption, including 9 of the top 10 semiconductor vendors have moved forward at great speed with 100 AI-driven commercial tape-outs,” said Aart J. de Geus, chef executive of Synopsys at the most recent earnings call (via Yahoo! Finance). “Today, the tally is well over 200 and continues to increase at a very fast clip as the industry broadly adopts AI for design from Synopsys.” Growing complexity of chips require designers to adopt the latest nodes to make them viable, which is why development and production costs are skyrocketing. A moderately complex chip manufactured using a 7nm process technology came with a development price tag of approximately $300 million, with nearly 40% of this cost attributed to software. By contrast, a development cost of an advanced 5nm exceeds $540 million, including software costs, based on data from International Business Strategies (IBS). Moving forward, the development cost of a sophisticated 3 nm GPU is projected to be around $1.5 billion, with software costs accounting for about 40% of this price tag. When you spend $1.5 billion on a chip, there is no place for mistake and human beings, unlike AI, are prone to make mistakes, which is why it makes a great sense to use artificial intelligence for highly complex designs. In fact, Synopsys announced a full stack of AI-assisted designs tools earlier this year. “We unveiled the industry's first full stack AI-driven EDA suite, sydnopsys.ai,” said de Geus. “Specifically, in parallel to second-generation advances in DSO.ai we announced VSO.ai, which stands for verification space optimization; and TSO.ai, test space optimization. In addition, we are extending AI across the design stack to include analog design and manufacturing.” Virtually all large chipmakers are now adopting AI-assisted EDA tools, though not everyone is ready to confirm this. “Partners in the announcement included Nvidia, TSMC, MediaTek, Renesas and IBM Research, all providing stunning use cases of the rapid progress and criticality of Synopsys.ai to deliver their breakthrough results,” added de Geus. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ai-tools-take-chip-design-industry-by-storm-200-chips-tape-out
