#to tackle increasingly ambitious projects
Note
I don't know if you need to hear this, but, given that post about comments earlier, I just wanted to say that I've got both TTDL and Tyrant on my subscriptions, but I still check for updates on the usual posting days multiple times. Your writing is very good; and that runs the whole gamut. The pacing, the characterization, the plot, and a lot of things that I can't name at the top of my head. Best of all, though? Your voice. The effort you've put into the craft over the years is very evident.
thank you so much anon - i'm fortunate enough to not get too many of the 'post more' comments, or at least they're vastly outweighed by the people who genuinely care about the story, and the addition on that post about how powerful positive comments are is incredibly true
for me, knowing that someone is invested in the story (beyond the point of just yelling 'I NEED MORE' at me, which EVERY TIME i deeply wish to respond to with 'no i'm never posting again<3' even though i'm aware it would be a bold-faced lie, simply because i know for other authors it WOULDN'T be a lie and ~actions have their consequences~) makes posting fic an actually fun experience - then i get excited to update the same way readers are excited to read the update, and that's how i've managed to keep going on stories that are WAY bigger than anything i ever dreamed i'd write when i first made an ao3 account. ttdl would not exist if not for the overwhelming amount of encouragement i got from people who enjoyed stga, which would not exist if not for the interest and support i got from people reading my one shots and shorter multichaps
there are a lot of things i love about ao3 but i think because it really is just an archive of fanfiction (which is a good thing for it to be! i don't want it to be a social media platform), it can be easy for people to forget that there's an actual person behind the account posting updates, and that's how they begin to treat authors as merely content creators
i know leaving comments can be a really nerve-wracking thing (i've gotten people apologizing to me for leaving short comments, apologizing to me for leaving long comments, apologizing to me for not commenting on the previous chapter, apologizing to me for not having anything specific to say beyond that they love the story, apologizing to me in case they spelled something wrong because it's 5AM where they are, ETC ETC ETC) and just like... if you're sincere in your appreciation for the story, no matter how much you have to say, please know that it's very much taken to heart and received with gratitude
so it means a lot to me to know that you're interested in those stories, because that is why i post them
#should i make an inbox tag#this is not to say that 'longer fic' is somehow better than shorter fics#more so that because of support from readers i've felt confident enough in my abilities#to tackle increasingly ambitious projects#i still write a lot of one shots and honestly i think they're some of my best writing#generally because i write them and lean REALLY HARD into one thing#(like - overdeveloped affinity for spite can be subtitled 'humor via jump cuts'#implode-- is all about using ambiguity and messing around with pacing#urge to have faith is for prose#ajflsghskdjf i could keep going but i'll end this parenthetical remark here)#but my longer fics are where i focus more on character arcs and plotting#which i just don't have room to do in the short ones#i barely have room in the long ones afjlkghsjkdf you all know this from my infodumps#about things that don't fit into ttdl#ANYWAY my point is that readers and writers have a symbiotic relationship#i have never ever written in a vacuum#and i really do appreciate the people who take the time to let me know they care about this story#even if it's as simple as commenting a heart

(This is content for Humans-B-Gone!, an animated sci-fi series about a giant praying mantis who works in pest control--those pests including humans. Watch it on YouTube here: https://youtube.com/c/humansbgone )
All paintings for Gregorsa's lecture are done, and I'm even fairly happy with them!
Not only that, but all sound work--final recordings, editing them together, final music, sound effect gathering, editing and placing--is also done!
Next week, work begins on sets and props for the animation itself. Aiming to keep things simple, so hopefully done within the week! After that, three weeks of animation, a day or so for notes, and we're done! Boy, this one flew by. However, next episode is looking much harder....
(By the way, if last week you guessed "diatoms" for the mystery organisms in the paintings--you are absolutely correct! Award yourself five secret Gregorsa points.)
This is the last update of the year. Looking back at my progress is a marvel. This marks three years that I've been at work on HBG, and each year has been a major milestone.
The first year, I conquered years of writer's block, and a lifetime of despising my own work too much to seriously take on an original setting. I finally had the confidence to work on my dream project, and wrote novels' worth of content. (Granted, mostly disjointed snippets, but I'm still pleased.) I also made tons of concept art, and had fun exploring the range of voices I could do for different characters. (I can't wait to introduce you to them!) I also tackled my most ambitious 3d modeling tasks yet!
The second year, I made even more models. I made myself animate, putting into practice things I had previously only passively absorbed. I released the project to the public for the first time, and from barely animating at all, made the jump to releasing entire short animations, and even a short episode!!! I'm still amazed to think of the leaps and bounds I made that year. I even did some music!
This past year, the third year, I made three episodes and a bonus video, each close to five minutes long, released faster and faster. At the time it felt laboriously slow, but looking back I'm stunned at how much I put out. Real episodes of Humans-B-Gone! Wow!!! I learned to make concessions along the way, and ended up rewriting much of what I had plotted, but in the end was able to meet my goal of introducing Sophodra in the main series before the year was out! I also got in much more worldbuilding than I had anticipated.
This coming year will be the fourth year. Over the past three years, I increasingly created things I never would have dreamed myself capable of. Though the growth of the viewership sadly hasn't matched my own enthusiasm for the project, I intend to keep at it, and get out the characters, setting and story that I've wanted to for so long.
What will I be capable of this year? Who knows? I'm excited for what new capabilities Blender (the program I create HBG in) has been developing, which will make things easier and easier, especially as I create more and more assets. I may even try crowdfunding so I can hire on some help with backgrounds, animation and music! With any luck, we'll make it to the introduction of some major plot points before we hit the fifth year.
Thank you to all of you who supported HBG along the way! I hope you're excited to see the new sights and meet the new characters that are coming. Until next time!

Pantheon tis Orpheus part 1
(OSP intro. We see Red and Blue look at a bundle of papers for a few seconds. Then the papers are tossed up and the two avatars are running around frantically.)
Collectively: “Aaaaaaah!!!!!”
(Red skids to a stop and turns to Blue who stops too.)
Red: “Wait I know why I am excited but what about you?”
(Red has her arms crossed, Blue throws his in the air in exasperation.°
Blue: “Oh I’m sorry! Am I not supposed to be freaking out over a unique, reliable document that contains references to the day to day life of individuals over multiple classes in ancient Greek times!?”
(Red nods in understanding.)
Red: “Ah, yes, yes. My bad. Proceed”
Both: “AAAAAAAAAh” (Resume running around screaming)
Cut to the two catching their breath before addressing the audience.
Red: “Aren’t ancient documents great?”
Montage of pictures of old scripture.
“They provide a little glimpse in the past that are far more defined than other relics of their times that need to be interpreted by the historians who find them with little to none of the correct context.
Some of these documents were at one point widespread and well known enough that other documents reference them.
One of these documents is known as Pantheon tis Orpheus. Or Orpheus’ Pantheon.
A tales of the brother’s Grim of it’s time.
Until today we only had references. But that just recently changed. An original copy of this fabled collection was apparently kept in the hometown of it’s original writer and kept in pristine enough condition that it could be verified and translated, now for our reading pleasure!
And I will be talking about them all today. This might be the most ambitious project we have tackled on the channel, but our records show that we can definitely do this.”
Journey to the west cast glares in the background as Red gets increasingly uncomfortable only to be swooshed away by a mysterious dark shadow, leaving a cute little dude smiling instead.
“Anyway! Some context!
Our main character and alleged author of this story is a cool dude named Orpheus. A progressively less young soldier and champion of the OG sexy man and absolute Icon of a God. Virgil.”
Tall sexy dark dude stands smirking next to cute little dude who looks at him starry eyed.
“Let me tell you the author is an icon in and of himself. He starts the story off explaining that these are the events as told by Virgil and therefor incomplete and interpreted retellings of the events.
We love some self-awareness.
The story as a whole covers every myth from the creation of the universe to what was present day back then.
After Orpheus died in battle, on the day of an eclipse fittingly enough, his friend, a man named Damocles, took over writing until he too passed away of old age.
And they didn’t just write down dusty old myths. They both wrote about little day to day things as they were told the myths. Homelife, memories of their childhoods, work issues, time spent with each other and their friend, their general Ajax, implied to later be known as the god of Truth and Justice.
It's a good collection though and it gives us an idea what gods were popular and widely known at the time and which came later. There is no clear mention of Logan by example. And the twin creators always closely associated with Virgil aren’t even hinted at.
So it is safe to say that worship for them was not very prominent yet.
That’s all for today though. We’ll see you next time, when we dive in the first myth. The birth of everything."

Latest Updates on Climate Change
Recent scientific findings underscore the urgent need for action. From the retreating ice caps to extreme weather events, the indicators of a warming world are becoming increasingly hard to ignore. This urgency has catalyzed a global conversation that continues to evolve, spurred by breakthroughs in green technology, international policy debates, and a groundswell of public awareness. Drawing insights from key organizations such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this article explores the most current information on the climate crisis.
Key Takeaways
Global warming is an urgent problem, with recent data showing an acceleration in the rate at which our planet is heating up.
Major drivers of climate change include CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion and deforestation.
International policies and advancements in sustainable technologies are significant in mitigating the environmental impact of climate change.
Data from the IPCC and NOAA are essential for tracking changes in global climate patterns and informing policy decisions.
Increased public awareness is essential for driving the collective action needed to address the climate crisis.

International agreements and engagements such as the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) are not just formalities—they represent a collective commitment by nations to tackle the climate crisis head-on. These frameworks set ambitious targets for reducing global emissions with an eye towards achieving carbon neutrality.
Each year, the UN Climate Change Conference acts as a crucible for these commitments, where countries convene to negotiate, deliberate, and ultimately strengthen the resolve for collective action. Here, progress is meticulously assessed against sustainable development goals, which serve as a blueprint for a greener, more sustainable future. Underscoring this international endeavor is the spirit of global cooperation, critical for ensuring equitable climate action across various economic landscapes.
Financial backing, termed as climate finance, also plays a pivotal role, bridging the gap between developed and developing nations. This facilitation ensures that global economic disparities do not become a barrier to environmental stewardship. Moreover, a significant trend in harmonizing international trade and investment with climate goals heralds an era of innovation in renewable energy—an endeavour supported by data and reports from reputable entities like the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). These institutions offer invaluable insights into the challenges and advancements inherent in the global fight against the climate crisis.

Lifting Dubai: The Vital Role of Cranes in Shaping the Skyline
Dubai, a city known for its towering skyscrapers and futuristic architecture, stands as a testament to human ingenuity and ambition. Behind the glitz and glamour of its iconic skyline lies a crucial yet often overlooked element: cranes. These towering machines serve as the backbone of Dubai's construction industry, enabling the realization of architectural marvels that captivate the world. In this article, we'll explore the vital role of cranes in shaping Dubai's skyline, their diverse applications in construction projects, and the innovative technologies driving their evolution.
The Backbone of Construction
Dubai's skyline is a symphony of steel and glass, a testament to the city's unwavering commitment to architectural excellence. At the heart of this urban landscape are cranes – towering machines that lift, manoeuvre, and assemble the building blocks of modern infrastructure. From the iconic Burj Khalifa to the breathtaking Dubai Marina, cranes play a pivotal role in bringing ambitious architectural visions to life.
Diverse Applications
Cranes in Dubai are employed across a wide range of construction projects, from towering skyscrapers to sprawling megaprojects.

Mobile cranes, equipped with wheels or tracks for mobility, are versatile machines used for a wide range of lifting tasks, from setting precast concrete panels to hoisting machinery onto rooftops.
In addition to traditional construction projects, cranes are also utilized in Dubai's booming infrastructure sector. Whether it's building bridges, highways, or transportation networks, cranes play a vital role in the development of the city's critical infrastructure, ensuring that Dubai remains a global hub for commerce, tourism, and innovation.
Innovation Driving Evolution
As Dubai continues to push the boundaries of architectural innovation, the role of cranes in shaping its skyline is constantly evolving.

The delicate art of maintaining America’s aging nuclear weapons
(AP) In an ultra-sterile room at a secure factory in Kansas City, U.S. government technicians refurbish the nation’s nuclear warheads. The job is exacting: Each warhead has thousands of springs, gears and copper contacts that must work in conjunction to set off a nuclear explosion. Eight hundred miles away in New Mexico, workers in a steel-walled vault have an equally delicate task. Wearing radiation monitors, safety goggles and seven layers of gloves, they practice shaping new warhead plutonium cores—by hand. And at nuclear weapons bases across the country, troops as young as 17 keep 50-year-old warheads working until replacements are ready. A hairline scratch on a warhead’s polished black cone could send the bomb off course. The Associated Press was granted rare access to key parts of the highly classified nuclear supply chain and got to watch technicians and engineers tackle the difficult job of maintaining an aging nuclear arsenal. Those workers are about to get a lot busier. The U.S. will spend more than $750 billion over the next 10 years replacing almost every component of its nuclear defenses, including new stealth bombers, submarines and ground-based intercontinental ballistic missiles in the country’s most ambitious nuclear weapons effort since the Manhattan Project.
Mexican railway operator halts trains because so many migrants are climbing aboard and getting hurt
(AP) A Mexican railway operator announced Tuesday it is temporarily suspending train runs in the northern part of the country because so many migrants are climbing aboard freight cars and getting hurt in the process. Ferromex said it has temporarily ordered a halt to 60 trains carrying cargo that would fill 1,800 tractor trailers. It said some international trade would be affected by the stoppage. In recent days, there have been about a “half-dozen regrettable cases of injuries or deaths” among migrants hopping freight cars, the company said in a statement. “There has been a significant increase in the number of migrants in recent days,” Ferromex said in the statement, adding that it was stopping the trains “to protect the physical safety of the migrants,” while it awaited action by authorities to solve the problem. Migrants have long used the trains, known collectively as “The Beast,” to hitch rides from as far south as Oaxaca state to the U.S. border. About a decade ago, the Mexican government briefly staged raids on the trains to discourage the practice, but later largely abandoned the effort. The announcement comes as migrants are increasingly desperate to reach the U.S. border.
Ecuador locked up a drug lord. He just released a music video from prison.
(Washington Post) The professional-quality music video looks and sounds much like a traditional Mexican ballad. A woman rides a horse across a field while two men in Tejana hats croon to accordion music about a “man of good honor.” Then the star appears: One of Ecuador’s most feared drug lords—posing for the camera in the country’s most notorious prison. The video, apparently filmed inside the Guayaquil prison and posted on YouTube over the weekend, pays homage to José Adolfo “Fito” Macías Villamar, a convicted murderer who has helped lead Los Choneros—a gang that reportedly partners with the Sinaloa Cartel to move cocaine to the United States. Mariachi Bravo’s “El Corrido del León”—“The Lion’s Ballad”—taunts a government that has proved incapable of seizing control of its prisons back from the increasingly powerful gangs. With a high-production-value video recorded in part in a facility that holds Ecuador’s most dangerous convicts, the criminals are sending a clear message about who’s in charge. “Es el jefe y patrón, señores,” the men sing. He’s the boss. By Monday evening, it had racked up more than 150,000 views. The video was more evidence of the gangs’ control of a prison system that has suffered record levels of violence between competing drug-trafficking groups.
Britain Passes Sweeping New Online Safety Law
(NYT) Britain passed a sweeping law on Tuesday to regulate online content, introducing age-verification requirements for pornography sites and other rules to reduce hate speech, harassment and other illicit material. The Online Safety Bill, which also applies to terrorist propaganda, online fraud and child safety, is one of the most far-reaching attempts by a Western democracy to regulate online speech. About 300 pages long, the new rules took more than five years to develop, setting off intense debates about how to balance free expression and privacy against barring harmful content, particularly targeted at children. At one point, messaging services including WhatsApp and Signal threatened to abandon the British market altogether until provisions in the bill that were seen as weakening encryption standards were changed. The British law goes further than efforts elsewhere to regulate online content, forcing companies to proactively screen for objectionable material and to judge whether it is illegal, rather than requiring them to act only after being alerted to illicit content, according to Graham Smith, a London lawyer focused on internet law. The bill has drawn criticism from tech firms, free speech activists and privacy groups who say it threatens freedom of expression because it will incentivize companies to take down content.
Zelensky opens U.S. visit with a warning: ‘Evil cannot be trusted’
(Washington Post) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday delivered an impassioned speech to world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly, pushing for sustained support for his embattled nation’s fight against Russia as he embarked on a delicate mission to bolster his cause globally and in Washington, Ukraine’s most important partner. He faces increasing concern among leaders of the Global South and Republicans in Congress who say the war is consuming too many resources and drawing away from other priorities. After more than a year and a half of war, leaders from some developing nations are increasingly frustrated that the effort to support Ukraine is taking away, they say, from their own struggles to drum up enough money to adapt to a warming world, confront poverty and ensure a more secure life for their citizens. In Washington, meanwhile, a growing faction of the Republican Party is rebelling against further spending on military aid for Ukraine, questioning whether it should be an American priority. The continuing economic and military support pledged to Ukraine is estimated to have reached about $73 billion globally.
Caucasus Conflict Renews
(1440) At least 25 people were killed and nearly 140 injured after Azerbaijan launched what it called a military operation yesterday against Armenian-backed separatists in the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave, raising concerns over a new war in the region. Azerbaijan and Armenia last went to war for 44 days in 2020, with more than 7,000 soldiers and civilians killed. The war ended after Russia brokered a cease-fire deal and deployed nearly 2,000 peacekeeping troops. The latest friction is a continuation of a conflict over borders since the Soviet collapse in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with both Azerbaijan and neighboring Armenia looking to control the majority-Armenian Nagorno-Karabakh region located within the UN-recognized borders of Azerbaijan. Approximately 120,000 ethnic Armenians live in the mountainous enclave in the South Caucasus.
The Khalistan separatist movement
(AP) Tensions between Canada and India have reached new heights with dueling diplomatic expulsions and an allegation of Indian government involvement in the killing of a Sikh activist on Canadian soil. The row centers around the Sikh independence, or Khalistan, movement. India has repeatedly accused Canada of supporting the movement, which is banned in India but has support among the Sikh diaspora. India’s Sikh independence movement eventually became a bloody armed insurgency that shook India in the 1970s and 1980s. It was centered in northern Punjab state, where Sikhs are the majority. The insurgency lasted more than a decade and was suppressed by an Indian government crackdown in which thousands of people were killed, including prominent Sikh leaders. In 1984, Indian forces stormed the Golden Temple, Sikhism’s holiest shrine, in Amritsar to flush out separatists who had taken refuge there. The operation killed around 400 people, according to official figures, but Sikh groups say thousands were killed. On Oct. 31, 1984, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who ordered the raid on the temple, was assassinated by two of her bodyguards, who were Sikh. Her death triggered a series of anti-Sikh riots, in which Hindu mobs went from house to house across northern India, particularly New Delhi, pulling Sikhs from their homes, hacking many to death and burning others alive.
The U.S. and Saudi Arabia consider a defense treaty
(NYT) American and Saudi officials are discussing a mutual defense treaty that would provide Saudi Arabia with U.S. military support if it was attacked. The discussions are central to the White House’s effort to get Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel. The structure of the treaty would be modeled after the military pacts that the U.S. has with Japan and South Korea, which are considered the strongest among non-NATO allies, U.S. officials said. Any agreement, however, is likely to face strong objections in Congress, where lawmakers in both parties see the Saudis as unreliable partners who care little about U.S. interests or human rights.
East Libya Strongman Keeps Tight Control Over Aid After Floods
(NYT) Days after a torrential downpour collapsed two aging dams and unleashed a rushing wall of water that swept parts of the Libyan city of Derna and thousands of its people into the sea, the military strongman who rules the area came for a quick visit. Khalifa Hifter, the 79-year-old renegade commander and longtime C.I.A. asset, shook hands with soldiers, took a brief drive through Derna’s muddy streets and flew off in a helicopter. The disaster that struck Derna on Sept. 11 has drawn renewed international attention to Mr. Hifter and his so-called Libyan National Army, a military coalition that controls the eastern half of the divided North African nation with an iron fist. More than a week after the disaster, as rescue efforts shift to the long and costly work of caring for the displaced and helping the city recover, Mr. Hifter’s tight hold over eastern Libya has made it clear that he will be the overall arbiter of the aid operation in the oil-rich country. That makes many longtime Libya watchers, including some who have spent time with Mr. Hifter, nervous. He oversees what is effectively a military dictatorship that competes for power with an internationally recognized government in the western half of Libya that is based in Tripoli, the capital. He has enriched and empowered himself and his sons while failing to provide basic services or maintain critical infrastructure, like the dams that burst last week, analysts and diplomats say. Human rights groups have accused his forces of grave abuses and potential war crimes.
Now, where is that fighter jet?
(Foreign Policy) Nothing inspires confidence like one of the world’s largest militaries losing a fighter jet—in its own backyard. The U.S. military urged locals to be on the lookout of an F-35 aircraft on Sunday after it went missing over South Carolina. It took almost two days to locate the missing plane, where it was discovered just two hours north of where the pilot ejected. “How in the hell do you lose an F-35?” U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The substantial investment in this cybersecurity project reflects the state's unwavering commitment to safeguarding its citizens and infrastructure in the digital era. As cybercrimes grow increasingly sophisticated, this initiative signals the government's acknowledgment of the necessity for a multifaceted strategy to combat the ever-evolving threat landscape.
Financial Respite for Sugar Cooperative Factories
In yet another commendable decision made by the cabinet, financially beleaguered sugar cooperative factories in the state will receive much-needed relief. These factories will now have access to loans from state cooperative banks, with the unwavering support of the state government. This strategic move is geared towards alleviating financial strain and reinvigorating the sugar industry, which remains pivotal to Maharashtra's economy.
A Milestone in Cybersecurity
The approval of the Rs 837 crore cyber safety project marks a monumental stride towards bolstering the state's cybersecurity infrastructure and shielding its citizens from the growing specter of cybercrimes. By integrating state-of-the-art technologies and adopting a proactive approach to investigations, Maharashtra aims to set a formidable example in the battle against cyber threats, thereby ensuring a safer and more secure digital environment for its residents.
As we delve deeper into this transformative initiative, it becomes evident that Maharashtra is not merely responding to the challenges posed by cybercrimes; it is proactively shaping the future of cybersecurity in India.

Citizen-Centric Approach
The establishment of a 24x7 call centre is a game-changer in the realm of cybercrime reporting. It empowers citizens to be proactive in reporting cybercrimes, ensuring that law enforcement agencies are alerted promptly. This not only expedites investigations but also helps in preserving crucial digital evidence that can be pivotal in securing convictions.
A Skilled Workforce for Effective Investigations
Beyond technology, the success of this project hinges on the competence of its human resources. With a skilled and dedicated workforce, Maharashtra aims to investigate cybercrimes comprehensively. This integrated approach is not merely about solving individual cases; it's about sending a resounding message to cybercriminals that the state is prepared to bring them to justice.
The Battle Against Cyber Threats
The world of cybercrimes is dynamic and constantly evolving. Hackers and cybercriminals employ increasingly sophisticated tactics to breach systems and steal sensitive data. Recognizing this, the Maharashtra government's commitment to a multifaceted approach to cybersecurity is commendable.
The Rs 837 crore investment in this project signifies a significant step towards bolstering the state's cybersecurity infrastructure. It's not just about protecting government networks or critical infrastructure; it's about safeguarding every individual who uses digital platforms in the state. It's about ensuring that businesses can operate securely in the digital realm without fear of cyberattacks.
A Boost for the Sugar Industry
In a parallel effort to support economic growth, the cabinet's decision to extend financial relief to sugar cooperative factories is equally noteworthy. Maharashtra's sugar industry has long been a cornerstone of its economy. By providing access to loans and committed support, the state government aims to revitalize this sector, generating employment and economic opportunities in the process.
Conclusion
In the face of a rapidly evolving digital landscape, Maharashtra's visionary approach to cybersecurity is both timely and laudable. It demonstrates a proactive stance in protecting its citizens and critical infrastructure. The approval of the Rs 837 crore cyber safety project is not just an investment in technology; it's an investment in the safety and security of every resident of the state.
As this multifaceted project unfolds, it is expected to become a model for other states and regions in India to emulate. It sets a precedent for how governments can harness technology, expertise, and a citizen-centric approach to combat the ever-growing threat of cybercrimes effectively.
In parallel, the support extended to sugar cooperative factories underscores the government's commitment to economic growth and prosperity. By addressing the financial challenges faced by these entities, Maharashtra aims to strengthen its economy and ensure the well-being of its people.
In sum, these two significant decisions by the Maharashtra cabinet reflect a state government that is not only responsive to the evolving needs of its populace but also forward-thinking in its approach to security and economic growth. It is a testament to Maharashtra's resilience and determination to navigate the challenges of the digital age while preserving its economic foundations.

New Leaders to Tackle Dame Barbara Windsor Dementia Mission
- Hilary Evans and Nadeem Sarwar to chair national Mission to tackle dementia, launched in memory of Dame Barbara Windsor
- Dementia Mission brings industry, academia and the NHS together to speed up dementia research, using the successful approach of the Covid Vaccine Taskforce
- Government backing for dementia research to reach £160 million by 2024
The UK Government has named two leaders in dementia research to spearhead the ambitious national Mission to tackle dementia, which was launched in memory of the late Dame Barbara Windsor.

Hilary Evans is the Chief Executive of Alzheimer’s Research UK, the largest charitable funder of dementia research in Europe. Nadeem Sarwar is currently a senior leader at Eisai, one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies. Together, they will convene industry, the NHS, academia and families living with dementia, to tackle this devastating illness.
Announcing the appointments at the World Dementia Council Summit today (Monday 20 March)
Official portrait of George Freeman MP. Photo by Richard Townshend. UK Government.
Minister for Science, Research and Innovation, George Freeman said:
“Dementia is an especially cruel condition for both patients and their loved ones; as Dame Barbara’s brave campaigning made powerfully clear for all.
Breakthroughs in neuroscience like the Nobel Prize-winning work of John Gurdon and his team, combined with patient cohort studies and the integration of genomics, big data and clinical research offers hope of new diagnostics, treatments and cures.
“The UK is determined to help lead this by harnessing the power of the NHS as a research engine. That’s why as 1st UK Minister of Life Science we hosted the first G20 Dementia Summit in London, and launched the Dementia Research Institute and Dementia Research Fund.
Patient engagement is key, which is why our new Dementia Mission is patient centred with a key role for dementia charities.
“Hilary and Nadeem will be instrumental in that, by driving this project in the spirit of Dame Barbara and all those desperate for hope of a cure. As cancer has become a treatable and increasingly curable disease in our lifetime, so too can dementia.”
Health and Social Care Secretary, Steve Barclay, said:
“Dementia is the leading cause of death in the UK but cutting edge research into new technologies that can help to detect and measure indicators of the condition has the potential to improve diagnosis, treatment and care."
"Today we’re taking another step forward to spearhead efforts into beating this disease and potentially help many people across the UK."
“Hilary Evans and Nadeem Sarwar will be crucial to accelerating the development of the latest treatments and technologies, as well as driving collaboration across partners in industry, the NHS, academia and people affected by dementia.”
The ‘Dame Barbara Windsor Dementia Mission’ was launched in August 2022, in honour of Dame Barbara and the millions of other people and their loved ones who have had their lives ruined by dementia.
This national Mission will develop innovative research tools and boost the number and speed of clinical trials in dementia and neurodegeneration. This contributes to the commitment to double funding for dementia research to £160 million a year by 2024 to 2025.
The Mission will follow the successful example set by the Covid Vaccine Taskforce, and forms one of eight Missions in the Government’s Life Sciences Vision and Drugs Strategy.
These other Missions will also harness the power of the UK’s life sciences sector – which is Europe’s largest – to unlock new treatments and diagnoses for cancer, obesity, addiction and mental health problems.
Hilary Evans, Chief Executive of Alzheimer’s Research UK, said:
“Dementia research has made great strides in recent years, but there is still important progress to be made on multiple fronts, and this needs effective collaboration across the whole dementia landscape.
From researchers, to regulatory bodies responsible for making sure patients can access safe and effective treatments without delay, and of course the NHS and research workforce.
Health Minister Will Quince said:
“We’re harnessing the best of UK innovation to change the lives of people with dementia, as well as their families and loved ones.
“Building on the success of the Covid Vaccine Taskforce, Hilary Evans and Nadeem Sarwar will co-chair the Dementia Mission to enhance collaboration across the sector, accelerate promising research and develop ground-breaking new ways to diagnose and treat this terrible disease.”
One million people are predicted to be living with dementia by 2025, and 1.6 million by 2040. It is the leading cause of death in the UK. Up to 40% of dementia cases are potentially preventable but causes are still poorly understood.
Dementia can affect the brain years before people show any symptoms, which means treatments need to be tested on people far earlier.
The new national Mission will build on recent advances in biological and data sciences, including genomics, AI and the latest brain imaging technology, to test new treatments from a growing range of possible options.
The Mission will work in partnership with industry and other key system partners and leverage the rich research ecosystem in the UK.

TELECOMS BOSSES STAKE CLAIM TO DIGITAL FUTURE
TELECOMS BOSSES STAKE CLAIM TO DIGITAL FUTURE
With weak revenues and high debt, the telecoms industry is looking for new ways to reinvent itself. It is also looking to build social credit, thanks to services such as Facebook's WhatsApp. The industry is also trying to change regulation, to keep up with the fast-moving technology.
Customer experience
As telecoms bosses stake their claims to the digital future, one of the first steps they should take is to improve customer experience (CX). This is particularly important in the communications and media sector, where customers increasingly demand a digitally driven experience. Small and medium businesses are also increasingly looking for digital self-service. Indeed, half of them are considering a move towards an omnichannel approach.
To create a superior customer experience, telecoms organisations must invest in new digital technologies and radically rethink their customer journey path. This will mean leveraging the right technologies and strategies to strengthen customer empathy and inclusion. It also means taking a holistic approach to customer experience and tackling the needs of vulnerable customers.
The Customer experience (CX) is the key to winning customers and retaining them. It drives customer loyalty and revenue growth. The digital environment underpins most customer experiences. And in a world where the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital channels, it's no wonder that customers gravitate towards the companies that deliver the best CX.
Cybersecurity
A global event, Mobile World Congress, is back this week in Barcelona, Spain. In a hybrid format, it is projected to draw up to 100,000 participants. This year's event is set to focus on digitalization and cybersecurity. The event is also focused on building trust with consumers.
Most telecoms are betting big on 5G technology. They have announced partnerships across software-as-a-service and cloud, as well as in traditional mobile and broadband operations. While most of the talks have focused on 5G, analysts say that the industry's future lies in other areas, too.
Big Tech payments
The EU's competition chief has called on regulators to compel the Big Tech giants to pay for their network costs. It comes after an outbreak of the coronavirus in Europe and fears that networks could collapse due to heavy traffic levels. In response, Netflix and Disney Plus adapted their services to save network bandwidth. This brought the debate back into the spotlight, and EU competition chief Margrethe Vestager said she would look into the issue.
Telecoms bosses say these deals will result in a concentration of power in fewer hands. The resulting market will see larger players dominate, while smaller players struggle to compete. This means users will be restricted to a walled-off ecosystem with only the major players.
In Europe, the battle between telcos and Big Tech companies is reaching a fever pitch. Telecom groups are pressing European regulators to adopt a "sender pays" principle that would make internet companies pay to add capacity to networks. This would require companies such as Netflix and Amazon Prime to pay for the extra capacity that they use on their networks.
5G technology
The next generation of mobile communications will revolutionise the world and telecoms bosses are taking note. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has set ambitious standards for 5G. Its goal is to create networks with download speeds of 20 gigabits per second and response times of one millisecond. The technology will also allow telecoms to connect one million devices per square kilometer. This will give telecommunications companies the ability to serve densely populated cities.
The technology is not far away from being deployed in urban areas, but it will need extensive investments to build the infrastructure needed to carry it. To meet the ambitious goals, telecom companies will need to build cellular relays inside buildings and on every city block. This will require 13 million utility poles that will cost $400 billion.
But some fears are being raised. The General Data Protection Regulation has come into force and requires companies to provide a high level of data protection for customers. Violation of this regulation can lead to large fines for companies.
