Punjab presents slew of demands to boost infra at pre-budget meeting with SitharamanLaser Photonics CleanTech Technology Being Utilized for Airplane Hangar MaintenanceIt’s no accident that people remember certain events in their lives because of music. Yiren Ren, a psychology researcher at Georgia Institute of Technology, and others published a new study that discovered how listening to music can not only trigger memories but can also change how people remember them. Ren’s mentor, Thackery Brown, and University of Colorado Boulder music experts Sophia Mehdizadeh and Grace Leslie also participated in the study, which analyzed the connections between music, emotion and memory. They developed a 3-day episodic memory task with separate encoding, recollection, and retrieval phases to get to their primary hypothesis. On the first day, participants memorized a series of short, emotionally neutral stories. The next day, they recalled the stories while listening to either positive music, negative music, or silence. On the third and final day, they were asked to recall the stories again, this time without listening to music. The participants’ brain activity was recorded on the second day with fMRI scans, which detects changes in the brain’s blood flow. From the study’s results, participants who listened to emotional music while recalling neutral stories were more likely to add emotional elements into the story. Another finding was that there was an increase in amygdala, the brain’s emotional center, and hippocampus, which plays a vital role in learning and memory, for participants who recalled stories while listening to music. Plus, the fMRI scans showed “altered neural engagement” during story recollection with music, as opposed to story recollection in silence. There was also evidence of communication between the emotional memory processing parts of the brain and the visual sensory processing parts of the brain, according to the study. In other words, music has the ability to infuse emotional details into memories Ren noted that “while further research is needed, our findings have exciting implications for both everyday life and for medicine.” The study also explained how music can affect the memories of people dealing with depression, PTSD or other mental health conditions . For those individuals, their negative memories can be turned more positive and be reduced over time by “carefully chosen music.” The study pointed out that, based on these findings, music-based methods can be used in treatments for mental health conditions. Overall, the study found a clear connection — and a positive one, at that — between music and memory. “These findings illuminate the interplay between music, emotion, and memory, offering insights into the consequences of infusing emotional music into memory recollection processes,” the conclusion of the study read.

The Russia-Ukraine war, which has been raging since 2022, has witnessed a major escalation lately, with Russian President recently describing the Oreshnik missile as a “state-of-the-art, modern and very new weapon”. Published: December 22, 2024 10:12 PM IST By Edited by : On Sunday, December 22, Russian President Vladimir Putin was asked if recent events could lead to World War III. He urged people not to spread fear, but did acknowledge that the risks were increasing. Putin told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin that there was no need to frighten anyone, but agreed that many of the dangers were increasing. He also claimed that Russia’s rivals were making the situation more tense and said that, if that was what they wanted, so be it, according to a report by the Sputnik India media house. Russia would always react to any challenges, said Putin and said he believed that, when current opponents and potential partners recognized this, they would understand the importance of finding compromises to resolve issues. VERY NEW WEAPON: ORESHNIK On Thursday (December 19), Putin had described the Oreshnik as a “state-of-the-art, modern and very new weapon”. He made this statement in response to a Western campaign criticizing Russia’s latest intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM). Russian military experts claim the US and its European allies are spreading rumours and conducting a propaganda campaign about the Oreshnik missile’s abilities because they lack an air defence system capable of stopping it. A retired major-general of the Indian Army has gone on record saying that the West is trying to ridicule Russia by claiming its technology is old-fashioned and that their own air defence systems are much stronger. This story about Russia’s military equipment spread by the Western nations was “misleading”, the Indian Army veteran said. As a result, Putin is challenging the West to show whether or not their air defence systems can destroy the Oreshnik missile. He emphasised that the Oreshnik was actually a very powerful weapon and that Russia would soon begin mass producing it. Currently, the Oreshnik travels at a speed of Mach 10, or about 12,300 kilometres per hour, making it impossible for anyone in the world to intercept it. Additionally, the Oreshnik is an MIRV, which means it can carry multiple warheads. This makes it nearly impossible to shoot it down in its entirety. That was why Putin had challenged the West to a technical duel to prove their capabilities, he explained. A retired group captain has also supported the major-general’s statement. He said the Western nations were conducting a propaganda campaign to undermine the credibility of the Oreshnik missile. He emphasised to the media house that it could not be intercepted—let alone shot down—by such systems as the Patriot or THAAD, or any of the other air defence systems used by America and its European allies. The group captain believes that, President Putin challenging the West to use their best air defence systems against the Oreshnik signified he was confident that the missile would outperform American and European military technologies. Russia has highly effective weapons systems and, by challenging the West to deploy their advanced air defence systems, the Russian President has boldly invited the West to test Russia’s strength and capabilities, a retired lieutenant-colonel also emphasised to the media house. These experts made their comments just hours after the Russian leader challenged the West to set up all their advanced air defence systems, including the Patriot missile system, to test the effectiveness of the Oreshnik. This challenge came as Western experts expressed doubts about the missile’s ability to get past NATO’s air defence networks. Putin, at his year-end press conference in Moscow, invited the Western experts to suggest a technological experiment—a high-tech duel—for those in the West and the US who paid them for their analyses. They could choose a target in Kiev, bunch all of their air defence and missile defence resources there, and Russia would use the Oreshnik to strike that target. Putin said they were fully ready for such an experiment. Putin added with a touch of sarcasm that he was unsure if the US and its allies fully understood the changes that Russia had made to its nuclear doctrine. He suggested that this question should be addressed to them. The Russian president was thus signalling a warning to NATO and its allies, the retired major-general told Sputnik. He noted that everyone knew Ukraine was a non-nuclear state and was supported by such nuclear nations as the US, UK and France in its conflict with Russia. The expert emphasised that Putin’s recent comments was a veiled threat that such countries as the US, Britain and France could be seen as potential targets because of their support for Ukraine. President Putin had, thus, delivered a clear message to the West that Russia would not hesitate to use its nuclear weapons if it felt its security was coming under threat, retired lieutenant-colonel concluded.

Walmart’s DEI rollback signals a profound shift in the wake of Trump’s election victoryVenezia’s Gaetano Oristanio had a goal disallowed on Sunday for what is arguably one of the closest offside calls that Serie A has ever seen. The offensive midfielder set up Francesco Zampano’s opener in the first half and thought to have doubled his side’s lead shortly after the break, only to see his net disallowed due to an offside position from his teammate Joel Pohjanpalo. Referees needed the help of technology to make the right call with images from the SAOT (Semi-Automatic Offside Technology) showing that a stud of Pohjanpalo’s trailing boot was beyond the last Cagliari defender when the Finnish striker received the ball with his back to goal, before giving it to Oristanio. A youth product of Inter with a stint at Cagliari last season, the 22-year-old had refused to celebrate the goal scored against his former side before understanding it was ruled out. È stato annullato un gol al Venezia per un fuorigioco di tacchetto. Ora ditemi voi se si possono decidere partite da lotta retrocessione (ma anche eventualmente per scudetto o coppe europee) per fuorigioco così...🤷🏻🤷🏻 — ComeFosseAntani♏️ (@niccoristo) However, defender , with the visitors failing to complete a late comeback despite Leonardo Pavoletti’s goal.
Veteran catcher James McCann , who is coming off two solid seasons as a backup with the Baltimore Orioles, is hitting the free agent market. McCann, 34, began his career with the Detroit Tigers, where he looked to be a star in the making. From there, he went to Chicago, where he made an All-Star Game with the White Sox, before signing a big contract with the New York Mets before the 2021 season. However, McCann could never get it going in New York and eventually was traded to the Orioles prior to the 2023 season. Over the last two years in Baltimore, McCann was primarily a backup and excelled in that role. Additionally, he was a great veteran leader on a young team, which is not an easily found trait. Now, James McCann is looking for a home for 2025. Many teams should be interested in his services as both a catcher and a leader. James McCann Free Agent Profile McCann’s Time In Baltimore After the Orioles acquired McCann, it was clear he was going to play the backup role to Adley Rutschman . However, that did not stop McCann from becoming a key part of the team’s two consecutive postseason runs. During his two seasons in Baltimore, McCann played 69 and 65 games, respectively. He averaged a .228 batting average and a .656 OPS. Those numbers are not incredible, but they will do for a backup catcher. McCann’s Leadership Despite not playing every day or not being a top hitter, McCann was one of the loudest voices in the locker room. Orioles reporter Roch Kubatko noted that one veteran player the Orioles traded for at the deadline noticed that “this is McCann’s clubhouse.” His leadership was noticeable on the diamond as well, whether he was high-fiving guys or talking them up. Additionally, McCann adds a lot of toughness to the team. This was brought to light when McCann’s nose was broken on a hit by pitch, and he stayed in the game afterward. 2024 PitchingNinja Tough Guy Award. ? Winner: James McCann Somehow staying in this game. pic.twitter.com/CZR8Skbdoz — Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) November 27, 2024 This type of toughness and leadership was invaluable to all the Orioles’ young players. Besides his on-the-field leadership, McCann is an excellent person off the field. He was the Orioles’ 2024 Roberto Clemente Award nominee, and in his two years in Baltimore, McCann helped the community in countless ways. Potential Contract For McCann During his second go-around in free agency, McCann will not be commanding another four-year, $40 million contract. Spotrac projects that McCann will earn a one-year deal worth about $2.8 million. That is a fair price for McCann’s services, which extend on and off the field. Where Will James McCann Land? The Orioles should be working very hard to keep McCann in Baltimore. Rutschman is still a young catcher, and the leadership McCann provides for not only Rutschman but the whole clubhouse is invaluable. Also, top prospect Samuel Basallo , a catcher, is set to debut in 2025, and having McCann around him could help his growth. Besides the Orioles, it’s tough to tell where else McCann could land. There are plenty of playoff-caliber teams who could use McCann’s leadership and toughness. But a rebuilding team with a young catcher could also try to copy the Orioles’ plan. One rebuilding team that stands out is the Washington Nationals. They showed some spark in 2024, but could not get the offense going consistently. Adding McCann as a leader, helping out young catcher Keibert Ruiz in the process, could be an under-the-radar move that helps the Nationals make a playoff push.

Home | India | Man Throws Liquid On Kejriwal During Rally Detained Aap Points Finger At Bjp Man throws liquid on Kejriwal during rally, detained; AAP points finger at BJP AAP lashed out at the BJP-led Centre for the incident and said this is the third "attack" on Kejriwal in the last 35 days. By Indrajeet Devulapally Published Date - 30 November 2024, 09:55 PM Former Delhi chief minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal reacts after a man allegedly splashed some liquid on the former during his padyatra, in New Delhi, Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024. Kejriwal was greeting people standing behind a cordon when the man approached him and splashed the liquid on him, following which the security personnel swiftly overpowered him. New Delhi: In a security scare, a man splashed some liquid on Arvind Kejriwal during his ‘padyatra’ in south Delhi’s Malviya Nagar on Saturday, with AAP claiming that it was spirit and the “attacker” wanted to set the party supremo afire. While police said water was thrown at Kejriwal during the public event that was organised without their permission, the BJP strongly refuted Chief Minister Atishi’s accusation that the accused was a worker of the saffron party. AAP lashed out at the BJP-led Centre for the incident and said this is the third “attack” on Kejriwal in the last 35 days. According to the police, the accused, identified as Ashok Jha, a serving bus marshal at Delhi Transport Corporation’s Khanpur Depot, has been detained. “Further examination of the person is in progress to find out the reasons behind this act,” a statement from the Delhi Police stated. Sources claimed that Jha (41), during interrogation, said that he was frustrated as he was not getting his salary for the past six months. Jha claimed that during the formation of AAP, he gave a donation to the party, but was upset with its “fake promises”, the sources said. The AAP national convener was holding the padayatra in the Savitri Nagar area that falls under the Greater Kailash assembly segment. Police said that around 5.50 pm Kejriwal was shaking hands with some followers standing behind a cordon when Jha attempted to throw water on him. He was immediately caught as the police staff were nearby, they said. Kejriwal and the security personnel accompanying him were later seen wiping their faces. Proper police deployment, both in plain clothes along with rope party for crowd control and in uniform, was made, the statement said. At a press conference, Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged that the man held for attacking Kejriwal had a matchbox in his hand. He claimed the liquid that fell on Kejriwal and him was spirit as they could smell it and an attempt was made to “burn him (Kejriwal) alive”. “A man threw spirit on him. We could smell it and there was an attempt to burn him (Kejriwal) alive. The man was carrying spirit in one hand and a matchbox in the other hand. He threw spirit that fell on Kejriwal and me... but he could not start the fire. Our alert volunteers and the public caught him,” he claimed. In a post on X, Bharadwaj also alleged that the attacker was connected with the BJP. After the incident, Kejriwal targeted Union Home Minister Amit Shah, saying he should try to stop crime in Delhi instead of stalling his march. “Will crime in Delhi reduce if you stop me? Will shoot-outs in Delhi spot... will women and businessmen become safe...,” he said on X. Chief Minister Atishi alleged that a BJP worker attacked Kejriwal and claimed the saffron party seems to be frustrated after losing the Delhi elections for a third time. “Today, in broad daylight, a BJP worker attacked @ArvindKejriwal ji. BJP is seen to be frustrated after losing the Delhi elections for the third time. BJP people, the public in Delhi will take revenge for such cheap acts. Last time, the BJP got eight seats, this time Delhi people will give BJP zero seats,” she said in a post on X. AAP had earlier alleged that some “BJP goons” tried to attack Kejriwal during his padyatra in Vikaspuri in October. “Delhi is facing a complete breakdown of law and order under the BJP’s rule,” it said, adding that if the former chief minister is not safe in the national capital, where will the common man go? The Delhi Police comes under the purview of the Union home ministry. The BJP strongly refuted the AAP’s accusations. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said the incident of throwing “water” on Kejriwal was an old tactic of the AAP. “Delhiites are asking why such incidents happen with him only”, he said. Party spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said the BJP condemns any kind of violence. But as Delhi BJP chief earlier pointed out, a “demoralised” Kejriwal could plan something like this to claim an attack on him and that suspicion has now been proved, he said. AAP leaders hit out at the BJP for the incident. Its Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha said that Kejriwal raised his voice against the deteriorating law-and-order situation in Delhi on Friday, and he faced the “cowardly” attack the next day. “This is highly condemnable. There is no place for violence in democratic politics. Arvind Kejriwal has the blessings of crores of people,” he said.
