Davos, Jan 17: RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das on Wednesday said that the Indian economy is likely to grow 7 per cent in the next financial year (2024-25) despite the global slowdown.
"Amid a challenging global macroeconomic environment, India presents a picture of growth and stability," Das said at a CII session on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos.
"The structural reforms undertaken by the government in recent years have boosted the medium and long-term growth prospects of the Indian economy," he pointed out.
With a strong domestic demand, India remains the fastest growing major economy, he added
Das also said that inflation in India has come down from the high levels witnessed in the middle of 2022.
"Chances of soft landing have improved and markets have reacted positively. However, geopolitical risks and climate risks remain matters of concern," he said.
A soft landing is a situation where the central bank does not go for a sharp increase in interest rates to control inflation in order to avoid choking economic growth.
He also said that India was in a comfortable situation as far as the external balance is concerned with robust foreign exchange reserves.

Problems with font and icon size. It doesn't show correct in the program. Mainly two issues:
In the program many of the icons are too small to even use. Menus are ok but seems to be a problem scaling the icons.
When receiving a mail written in some formats it converts it to a font so small it is not readable. Only option is to either set everything to plain text (works but looks awful) or use the zoom in tool (not very user friendly and that also turns the text I am typing gigantic on the screen)
I see in the forum at least 2 other users experience similar issues.

Blondie at Low Tide; New Cars Have Drive The idea of a "Road Rage Tour" stopping at the utterly serene Wolf Trap was one of many things that seemed off Tuesday night. Another: The two new-wave bands in question -- Blondie and the New Cars (two members of the old Cars plus singer Todd Rundgren and two others) -- don't exactly evoke "rage." In fact, it took Blondie nearly an hour to elicit an enthusiastic response from the crowd, despite playing a few hits early on ("Call Me," "The Tide Is High"). Perhaps singer Debbie Harry's obvious stiffness contributed to the lukewarm reception, or perhaps it was the group's own lethargy. Their laid-back awkwardness never quite connected with the audience. By contrast, the New Cars had the crowd on its feet for most of their 90-minute set. Even with a set list geared heavily toward Cars hits, the group seemed less like a tribute band than a genuinely new group. They performed songs from Rundgren's catalogue ("Bang the Drum All Day" and a screeching "Black Maria") and a new song, "Not Tonight," whose bouncy, percussive melody evoked the style of the original Cars with a new flair. Although Rundgren's deep yelping never quite captured the throaty warble of original Cars singer Ric Ocasek, it seemed to matter little to the crowd, which sang along to nearly all the catchy Cars hits. -- Catherine P. Lewis

Dermstore is currently having a big anniversary sale where you can save up to 25% off on great brands like Sunday Riley, Oribe, and Klorane. Here are my favorite hair care and skin care products, on sale now with code CHEERS.
I always use beauty sales to stock up on tried-and-true favorites, but they're also a great time to try new products you may not normally try at full price. Every product in this list I personally own and use, and they're all on sale.
Lancer The Polish
If there's one skin care product you've heard me talk about maybe too much, it's Lancer The Polish. I've said it once and I'll say it again, this daily physical exfoliant has singlehandedly changed the texture of my skin. A little goes a long way (I use only a pea-sized amount) so you'll have this for at least six months. It's my favorite skin care products of all time and a must-buy at the Dermstore sale.
Dermalogica PreCleanse
Dermalogica PreCleanse is an oil cleanser. Oil attracts oil, so it absorbs any makeup and impurities, leaving your skin ready for a deeper cleanse. Use it before your traditional cleanser for a deeper, more professional-level of clean. This is also known as double cleansing.
Bioderma Sensibo H2O Micellar Water
This Bioderma Sensibo H2O Micellar Water has been popular for a while now, but it's a new to me product. On days where I wear lighter makeup, I'll take a cotton pad and wipe it on my face to help remove makeup, but it also makes a great eye makeup remover.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentrate
I picked up Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentrate on my recent trip to France. It's a little thicker than my normal moisturizer, but it's been a summer favorite to help moisturize my dehydrated skin.
Sunday Riley CEO Vitamin C Serum
As I've gotten older, I've noticed more irregularity in skin tone thanks to years in the sun as a teenager without sunscreen. Vitamin C has brightening, clarifying, and antioxidant properties, so it targets dark spots, dullness, and overall signs of anti-aging. It's a powerhouse ingredient that also protects your skin against pollution. I use Sunday Riley CEO Vitamin C Serum during the day under my moisturizer.
Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment
At night, I'll swap out my Vitamin C serum for Sunday Riley Good Genes. Lactic acid helps to smooth and clear skin. I use this in conjunction with The Polish and I love the results.
Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum
I also use Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum at night. Retinol and retinoids help with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This serum also helps reduce dark spots and breakouts.
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel
I don't use Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel pads daily, but given the name, you absolutely could. About two times a week (or if my skin ever looks a little bumpy) I'll add these two step peel pads into my nightly routine. This is a mini at-home peel with no downtime.
COSRX Pimple Patch Set
I found these COSRX pimple patches at a Korean skin care store in NYC and I've been hooked ever since. Whenever you feel like you have a pimple coming your way, just apply one of these clear stickers over it before bed. There is some crazy magic in here; the pimple is flat by morning and the liquid inside somehow transfers onto the sticker. These are little lifesavers!
Christophe Robin Sea Salt Scalp Scrub
As a lover of dry shampoo, it's really important that I take care of my scalp to prevent yucky build up and general environmental residue. Salt usually isn't the greatest for your hair on a daily basis because it can dry out your scalp, so I only use Christophe Robin Sea Salt Scalp Scrub 1 – 2 times per month when it needs some deep cleaning.
UNITE Blonda Toning Purple Shampoo
I have been using UNITE Blonda Toning Purple Shampoo to reduce brassy tones on my bleached ends for probably 8 years now. As an added bonus to keeping my blonde locks bright, it also helps me go longer in between hair appointments. (And it smells delicious, too!)
UNITE 7 Seconds Detangling Spray
I don't know why detangling sprays for adults aren't more of a thing. UNITE 7 Seconds Detangling Spray lets you easily brush out wet hair, saving you time and pain after the shower. It also acts as a leave-in conditioner (for moisture) and provides heat protection against your hair tools.
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray
If you're going to use one product from Oribe, it should be this. Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray has a cult following. It adds just enough texture to your hair with ought weighing it down or making it look dull, and provides the perfect amount of subtle volume. This is a must-have for anyone looking for slightly undone, tousled wavy hair.
Oribe Apres Beach Wave Spray
Oribe Apres Beach Wave Spray was actually the first product I ever tried from the brand. Spray it inn your hair, give it a little scrunch, and either diffuse it or let your hair dry naturally. It gives naturally wavy hair the perfect amount of subtle texture, but the best part is there is ZERO crunch with this product.
Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk
If you haven't tried dry shampoo, you need to. I am a dry shampoo fanatic, and Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk (another French pharmacy favorite) just bumped my previous favorite out of its top spot. Extend days between hair washes with this lightweight, or if you want a little boost in volume at the roots. It has a subtle, but delightful scent, even if you're sensitive to fragrances.
T3 Micro Interchangeable Curling Wand Set
I've always been a fan of multi-use and multi-functional products, even when it comes to hair. This T3 Micro Interchangeable Curling Wand Set allows you to achieve three different styles with an innovative interchangeable base. They also sell additional sizes if you want to add to your collection. Plus, this is a major space-saver.
ghd Platinum+ Flat Iron
I can't say enough good things about my ghd Platinum+ Flat Iron. Not only does this flat iron heat up in a jiffy (20 seconds), it utilizes smart technology to ensure your hair doesn't burn or break. I use this iron to get my signature flat iron waves. I've had this iron for about 4 years now and she works just as perfectly as the day I removed her from the box.

Title: Elliptic genera of singular varieties
Speaker: Professor Lev Borisov
Speaker Info: Columbia University
Brief Description:
Special Note:
Krichever-H\"ohn elliptic genus of a smooth variety $X$ is a function $E(z,\tau)$ whose Fourier coefficients can be expressed in terms of Chern numbers of $X$. Two extensions of this invariant to singular varieties have been developed in a joint preprint with Anatoly Libgober. This talk will be accessible to graduate students with some knowledge of algebraic geometry (canonical class, Chern numbers of vector bundles, blowups with nonsingular centers).Date: Tuesday, September 26, 2000

ICC To Do Away With Umpire 'Soft-Signal' Rule
The soft signal is finally going. The ICC has amended the controversial rule in international cricket. The change is set to take place from June and that means the WTC final will come under it, as per Cricbuzz.
According to Cricbuzz, the change has been approved by the ICC cricket committee under Sourav Ganguly and also India and Australia, the WTC finalists, have been informed.
"Soft signals have been discussed at previous cricket committee meetings over the last couple of years. The committee deliberated this at length and concluded that soft signals were unnecessary and at times confusing since referrals of catches may seem inconclusive in replays," said Ganguly in an ICC release.
"We also discussed player safety, which is very important for us. The committee decided that it was best to make the use of helmets mandatory in certain positions to ensure the safety of players," he added.
"ICC should get rid of the soft signal and let the 3rd umpire who has all the technology make the decision when the on-field umpires send it upstairs, all the controversy is always around the soft signal given. This isn't a comment on the decision FYI," England Test skipper Ben Stokes had earlier said during a controversial decision of Marnus Labuschagne vs South Africa Test earlier in 2023.
Stokes' team once reaped the benefits from an inconclusive decision vs Pakistan when Saud Shakeel was given out in a Test in 2022.
"Soft Signal is the visual communication by the bowler's end umpire to the third umpire (accompanied by additional information via two-way radio where necessary) of his/her initial on-field decision prior to initiating an Umpire Review. Should both on-field umpires require assistance from the third umpire to make a decision, the bowler's end umpire shall first take a decision on-field after consulting with the striker's end umpire, before consulting by two-way radio with the third umpire. Such consultation shall be initiated by the bowler's end umpire to the third umpire by making the shape of a TV screen with his/her hands, followed by a Soft Signal of Out or Not out made with the hands close to the chest at chest height. If the third umpire advises that the replay evidence is inconclusive, the on-field decision communicated at the start of the consultation process shall stand," states the current ICC rule.
So basically, it makes the umpire on the field reach a decision, even if he cannot be certain, before asking for a replay. The 3rd umpire can change the decision provided the evidence is conclusive enough to do so based on the available video footage. This new rule means the third umpire will get to make the final decision on doubtful catches.

18 years ago, Norwegian-Danish singer Heine Totland, found himself and his family in a nightmare when they were caught in the middle of the tsunami that hit Thailand in December 2004.
Although the 51-year-old has spoken about the frightening experience before, he now opens up completely in a recent interview with local media Dagbladet.
In 2004 Heine Totland, his wife Silje Nergaard, and his two children were on a holiday on Koh Lanta in Thailand together with other family members.
When the tsunami hit he was alone with his two children, Erle who was 7 at the time, and Karla who was 18 months, and his nine-year-old niece and his seven-year-old nephew. Because he could not take all four children at the same time he had to tell the oldest children to swim for their life while he took Karla who was the youngest.
"I had to take care of Karla because the others could swim. We have been focused on teaching them to swim from the age of four," Heine says.
Everyone survived the tsunami disaster but it was a chaotic and traumatizing experience.
He had a firm grip on his young daughter and explains that they were washed inwards. "We went to the bottom, got a sunbed in our heads, everything was chaotic," he says and explains that while he was with his youngest daughter, he did not know where the other three children were.
Heine Totland's wife, Silje Nergaard, has also previously spoken about the nightmare experience in Thailand and she has said that at first, she did not understand what was about to happen.
Together with her sister, they walked along the beach where they saw several fish lying in the sand. Suddenly the wave hit them and Silje Nergaard managed to hold on to a palm tree while everything around her washed away.
"I remember thinking: I have to fight now. I have to fight for my life," she said.
After a while, she and her sister swam back to the hotel where they found her husband and all four children alive.
"Heine and the children all had different struggles in the waves and had been scattered, but he managed to hold onto Karla and the three older children found each other again and survived," she said. She pointed out that although their family was lucky, it was not like that for everyone.
"The tsunami is a memory that will always be there, but I have a distance to it now and I no longer remember the feeling of fear of death," she said.

Suspect arrested for deadly assault of Alexandria woman found at bus stop
FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (FOX 5 DC) - A suspect has been arrested for the deadly assault of an Alexandria woman who was found at a bus stop last month.
Fairfax County police say Chante Antonio Jones, 32, is in custody after an investigation determined he was the assailant who killed 63-year-old Michelle Huntley on June 17.
After canvassing the Hybla Valley area, detectives located surveillance footage from several sources near the bus stop in the 7900 block of Richmond Highway where Huntley was found.
On Monday afternoon, authorities say an officer spotted Jones wearing similar clothing from the night of the attack – one block away from where the deadly assault took place.
Detectives from the homicide squad responded to the scene and made the arrest.
Jones was charged with aggravated malicious wounding and is being held without bond.
The relationship between Jones and Huntley as well as the circumstances leading to the assault is still under investigation.
Huntley died Sunday afternoon after she was found at the bus stop on Richmond Highway with life-threatening injuries to her upper body, according to police.

How to Get Rid of Brain Fog
Are you plagued by brain fog? You're not the only one suffering from brain fog. Brain fog can affect everyone and you can do something about it. It is possible to change a few things. Here are some tips:
Brain fog can lead to brain fog, which could affect your ability think clearly. Stress is a common affliction affecting people of all ages and from all walks of life. In fact, 70% of Americans suffer from some form of physical stress each year, and the biggest culprits are work and money. The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with increased pressure in our society, has only increased the overall burden of stress on our society.
This problem can be solved by getting more sleep. Brain fog can be caused by insufficient sleep. Sleep is essential for brain functioning. Aim for 7 to 9 hours sleep each night. Avoid drinking caffeine or alcohol a few hours prior to bedtime. You should keep all electronic devices out of your bedroom. Get to bed at the same hour every night. If you continue to struggle with brain fog, consult your doctor.
Another common cause of brain fog is anxiety. Anxiety interferes with our ability to think clearly. A thought clouding our ability to concentrate can be caused by anxiety, frustration and hopelessness. Brain fog can also be caused by stress and thyroid issues. These conditions produce high levels of estrogen, which cloud our thinking. Problems with sleep and hormone balance can be caused by stress. Brain fog is also a possibility for those who have undergone COVID.
Sleep deprivation
Sleep deprivation has been linked to cognitive disorders like chronic fatigue syndrome and brain fog. While it does not necessarily cause memory loss, brain fog can be caused by chronic fatigue. This issue of the Harvard Health Letter offers free advice on healthy lifestyle habits, new developments in preventative medicine, and tips on reducing high blood pressure and cholesterol. You'll also find out the most recent research regarding stress and how it affects your health.
Brain fog is often caused by depression. Treatment for this condition usually includes prescribed medication as well as various therapies. Sleeping enough at night is a key part of treatment for depression. Insomnia robs your brain of time to regenerate, which has adverse effects on your brain function. It can affect every aspect of your life, including your health. Lack of sleep causes brain fog, so if you're experiencing depression, seek help immediately.
You must get enough rest to increase cognitive flexibility and sharpness. To function at its best, the brain requires specific nutrients. The nutrients are vitamins, amino acids and essential fatty acid. Complex carbohydrates also count. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables and high in healthy fats can improve your brain's performance. Consult your doctor if you still experience brain fog even after these lifestyle modifications.
Lack of attention
Brain fog can cause a loss of focus and attention. It can be difficult to focus on work and completing your daily tasks, especially if you're experiencing this problem at the workplace. There is no quick fix for attention problems, but there are simple ways to improve focus and cognitive function. Here are some ways to increase your concentration and focus.
A medical condition called COVID is a possible cause of brain fog. It can be caused by inflammation or a variety of other causes. Consult a doctor if you feel your brain may not be functioning to its best. Brain fog is common among many different types of people, and can interfere with the ability to complete daily tasks. Your doctor may perform tests to check for inflammation markers and vitamin deficiencies. Your doctor may ask questions about how you feel and what your mental health is.
Brain fog can also be caused by autoimmune diseases, brain injury, or certain medications. These conditions can cause a lack of attention. A doctor will help you determine the best treatment. In addition to preventing the condition, you can treat brain fog with lifestyle interventions. Your doctor can help you determine if your medication is affecting your ability to focus.
Vitamin B12 deficiency
You might experience brain fog, lightheadedness, fatigue, tingling fingers and hands, or other symptoms if you don't get enough vitamin B12. You might also notice that you're feeling depressed, have trouble concentrating, or just don't feel like yourself. It is possible to get mouth sores which could indicate anaemia, or any other emergency.
If you don't get enough vitamin B12, you may be suffering from pernicious anemia. A condition where the body doesn't get enough vitamin B12 through food can be called pernicious anemia. This causes low blood sugar and brain damage. Doctors may prescribe large doses of B12 from food or regular injections to treat the condition. Talk to your doctor if you think you may be lacking in B12. In the U.S., labs typically report "normal" levels as 450 pg/mL.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to a range of symptoms including pale skin and mouth sores. A rapid heartbeat and beefy tongue could also be symptoms. These symptoms are not common for all B12 deficient people. They tend to come on gradually and don't always happen at once. To determine how severe the problem is, a doctor may run an examination.
If you're a vegetarian, you should make sure that you're getting plenty of vitamin B12 in your diet. It's essential for maintaining healthy nerves and brain cells. The body can't produce enough vitamin B12 without it, so it's important to eat a variety of animal products that contain this essential nutrient. Vitamin B12 can help improve your mood.
Treatments for cancer
A medical oncologist has discovered the connection between cancer and brain fog. One result is "Chemo brain," which she invented. Many patients with breast cancer complained about memory and concentration issues. They believed their treatments caused the problem. This is often not true. These are the possible treatments for brain fog caused by cancer. (Skip to the end of the article to learn more about some of the possible treatments for brain fog.)
Many cancer treatments cause brain fog. You might experience problems with memory or thinking even after your treatment is over. Cognitive rehab is available for those who are concerned about how this affects their daily lives. After all, the doctor can determine the underlying cause of your brain fog and prescribe the appropriate treatment. Brain fog can affect anyone, and talking to your doctor about the situation is a good first step.
Several cancer treatments may cause cognitive problems, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Some suffer mild cognitive difficulties after receiving chemotherapy while others have more serious problems. The condition could also be due to the treatment of cancer, as well as other factors like inadequate nutrition, sleep deprivation, anxiety, depression, and poor diet. Brain fog symptoms may become worse over time. Patients can find a variety of treatments that help them cope with symptoms of cancer.
Multi-tasking is one of the main causes of brain fog. According to a recent study conducted by Stanford University, people who multi-task often have difficulty organizing their thoughts, filtering out irrelevant information, and switching between tasks. These symptoms suggest that multi-tasking can reduce your efficiency and performance. It's not clear why multi-tasking makes you feel this way, but it may have negative implications for your mental and physical health.
Multi-tasking is a way to avoid brain fog. This can result in a cluttered mind and a lowered sense of well-being. Studies have shown that people who frequently multitask are more likely to experience cognitive impairment than those who don't. Researchers believed that multitasking caused cognitive impairment only temporarily. However, the new study suggests that multi-tasking affects the same parts of the brain as people who focus better.
While multi-tasking may be convenient for you, it is actually bad for your brain. This can be fixed by focusing on one task at the time and stopping multitasking. Multi-tasking is a problem. You should stop checking your phones and focus instead on the task at hand. If you're unable to focus, consider using a time chunking method.
