  50. <p>The Elon Musk-led firm has been waiting since 2022 for licences to operate commercially in India. Last month it received a key license from India&#8217;s telecom ministry to launch, but has been waiting for a go ahead from India&#8217;s space department.</p>

  54. <p>Starlink and the space department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.</p>

  56.  
  57.  
  58. <p>Starlink would be the third company to receive India&#8217;s nod to enter the space, with India previously approving applications by Eutelsat&#8217;s (ETL.PA), OneWeb and Reliance Jio to provide services in the country.</p>
  59.  
  60.  
  61.  
  62. <p>Starlink will now need to secure spectrum from the government, set up ground infrastructure, and also demonstrate through testing and trials that it meets the security rules it has signed up for.</p>
  63.  
  64.  
  65.  
  66. <p>Musk and billionaire Mukesh Ambani&#8217;s Jio clashed for months over how India should grant spectrum for satellite services. India&#8217;s government sided with Musk that spectrum should be assigned and not auctioned.</p>

  106. <img width="534" height="289" src="https://nykdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-09-162518.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://nykdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-09-162518.png 534w, https://nykdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-09-162518-300x162.png 300w, https://nykdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-09-162518-150x81.png 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" />
  107. <p>Politics in India is currently being strenuously used to divide and rule like the colonial hoodlums, on the bases of castes, religion, and now language. The cacophony of conflict against Hindi speaking population is everywhere specially in southern states because the political parties in power are unbelievably insecure about losing their power, seeing the Hindutva rise in the Hindu community that remained secular and allowed these anti hindu politicians to devour all the significant wealth of Hindu temples, despite extensive denigration of Hinduism in the name of liberalism.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  108.  
  109.  
  110.  
  111. <p>Oftentimes, such attempts to divide the already splintered hindu community are made by political parties trying to fragment hindu unity into smithereens such as Brahmins, Rajput, Dalit, Baniyas and all, so that the caste conflict can cause chaos amongst all castes, and fetch power to politicians. On the other hand, this is quite beneficial for Muslim community for being united and powerful votebank which all political parties covet to clinch. As their unity is not based on their castes, but they stay united against their target– Hinduism. Therefore, Hindus from southern India cab be easily seen mocking northern Hindus, vilifying and protesting against Hindi speaking Hindus, however there is hardly any Muslim harassing another Muslim over language or anything. So, all the conflict is within hindu community propelled by political parties having anti hindu penchant for power. As they are wholly familiar with the fact that a divided community is actually a swarm of angry ants in a pit dying to kill each other, while these politicians sprinkle salt of lingual conceit, castes and territorial supremacy.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  112.  
  113.  
  114.  
  115. <p>Recently, the cacophony of lingual pride is pervading Maharashtra where Raj Thackeray, MNS leader has propelled a protest against non Marathi people living in Maharashtra for his recently felt Marathi pride after faring badly in the state elections, failing to grab even one seat. MNS goons have been lauded to harass, thrash people and make video to showcase the pride they felt is missing in the state after the elections. MNS hoodlums have been seen tormenting poor vendors, forcing them to speak Marathi, and slapping, beating them in public, in order to feel a sense of pride by recording such videos and spreading fear in non Marathi population in the state.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  116.  
  117.  
  118.  
  119. <p>They are fearlessly harassing only Hindu traders, shopkeepers and vendors for not speaking Marathi, however same proud hoodlums were seen begging for forgiveness from Muslim vendors whom they thought to torment like they did with hindu vendors. Their protest and anger is only limited to targeting Hindu population as their masters also know that hindu community can feel proud in harassing their own people, moreover they would even vote for these hoodlums for this phoney lingual pride they recalled after losing elections. However everyone in this party knows that harassing Muslims to speak Marathi won’t fetch them votes. Therefore, the lingual pride is exhorting these hoodlums to only target Hindus, even after fierce outrage against them, their leaders are continually lauding them for beating, harassing people and even advices them to do it without recording their actions. Meanwhile, the alliance in the power is behaving like a gang of some cowards, tightly grabbing the chair and acting nonchalantly as if nothing is happening in the state. That’s the ugly face of politics, it doesn’t prefer morality, it prioritizes only power.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  120.  
  121.  
  122.  
  123. <p>In recent incident in Mumbai, an influencer has been harassed by a son of Muslim MNS leader abusing her and threatening her, even though she was Marathi. That half naked guy is still out roaming freely without any action, although he not only abused the girl, but also ran his car into hers. All such incidents are being routinely ignored, yet the govt is hibernating for upcoming elections. People who trusted BJP and its alliance are still being terrorized by goons harassing them for not speaking Marathi. Although these goons, and their own leaders and their families hardly speak Marathi, but poor people are being coerced to speak Marathi. This language war infused with heinous political agenda is just for the poor, and common people who can easily targeted, beaten, and harassed, rest are happily enjoying in the bungalow, speaking hindu and English while they advise others to speak Marathi, and even threaten as if being poor and common person is a crime in India, where politicians, actors, rich people, famous people and political scoundrels disguised as party workers, are privileged to live freely without any threat.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  124.  
  125.  
  126.  
  127. <p>These avowedly protesters are nothing, but a lump of insecurities, joblessness, and idiocy, because they are claiming to fight against Hindi, while their leaders speak it fluently without any problem, but stutter while speaking Marathi. This lingual pride protest is absolutely nothing but a political propaganda for Thackeray sons to revive their political parties that have been brutally pulverized in recent elections specially by BJP and Shiv Sena Shinde. The selective approach against non Marathi Hindus is obviously used to instill a sense of pride in Marathi population for elections.&nbsp;</p>
  128.  
  129.  
  130.  
  131. <p>Language is a bridge between communities, not a weapon to terrorize people, and harass them for personal rancor, and selectively attempting to hammer Hindu unity by only targeting Hindu vendors and traders, but cowardly avoiding Muslim area. The onus is on the govt to guarantee safety and security of people living in Maharashtra. Chief minister shouldn’t be nonchalant when some whimsical leaders permit their goons to beat people if not speaking Marathi, he is supposed to act against such hooligans in the name of language that is just a political propaganda before any election. The government must take appropriate actions against these goons, because the laxity in the action against them is definitely a clear message to them that the govt is weak and helpless in front of their political lingual pride.&nbsp; Ironically, these Marathi warriors themselves hardly speak Marathi, and even feel proud when they write and speak English, however they yearn to harass others- only non Marathi Hindus for not speaking Marathi in the state as their frustrated leaders couldn’t get over their political debacle.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

  160. <p>The story begins in 793 C.E. with the infamous Viking raid on Lindisfarne, where a young novice, Uhtric, witnesses the terrifying brutality of Norse warriors. These men are fueled by an ancient hallucinogenic powder and become unstoppable killing machines. This historical thread continues its way to the present day, where Dr. Duncan MacGregor, a Boston neurosurgeon and CIA operative, is called to Tangier, Morocco, to investigate a bizarre murder.</p>
  161.  
  162.  
  163.  
  164. <p>A macaque monkey has inexplicably turned rabid and killed a man. When MacGregor examines the primate&#8217;s brain, he uncovers signs of artificially induced aggression, eerily similar to what was recorded in Viking history.</p>
  165.  
  166.  
  167.  
  168. <p>As the investigation digs deeper, MacGregor discovers that the Berserker powder has been rediscovered, synthesized, and enhanced in a secret research facility. The people behind this scientific experimentation are planning to build a political weapon. It turns out to be a shadowy organization led by media mogul Rufus Morlock, who intends to unleash the drug on civilian populations, turning peaceful protests into violent uprisings.</p>
  169.  
  170.  
  171.  
  172. <p>By sowing chaos and panic, they aim to justify extreme government crackdowns and push the world closer to authoritarian rule.</p>
  173.  
  174.  
  175.  
  176. <p>Dr. Black&#8217;s novel reflects current global anxieties, including the power of disinformation, political extremism, and scientific ethics. The novel explores the potential for drugs to manipulate human behavior, drawing inspiration from real-world examples such as MKUltra experiments and military amphetamine use.</p>
  177.  
  178.  
  179.  
  180. <p>MacGregor&#8217;s challenges in the book draw parallels with humanity&#8217;s age-old fascination with war and violence.</p>
  181.  
  182.  
  183.  
  184. <p>The idea of manipulating public behavior through fear and misinformation and the role of disinformation campaigns, social media echo chambers, and politically motivated unrest have become increasingly prominent in recent years. The events of January 6<sup>th</sup>, 2021, in the United States, where a crowd stormed the Capitol under the influence of propaganda, parallel the kind of controlled chaos that Morlock envisions in the novel.</p>
  185.  
  186.  
  187.  
  188. <p>Another aspect that makes the book particularly powerful is its unflinching look at how easily modern societies can be destabilized. The spread of Berserker powder mirrors the way real-world crises escalate, slowly at first, then suddenly, all at once. It takes only a few moments of chaos to justify sweeping political actions.</p>
  189.  
  190.  
  191.  
  192. <p>The book forces us to consider how often history has repeated this pattern: a crisis emerges, people panic, leaders seize power, and individual freedoms erode. Whether it is a pandemic, a war, or a mass protest, moments of societal fracture are often exploited by those in power.</p>
  193.  
  194.  
  195.  
  196. <p>Besides politics, the book touches on the weaponization of neuroscience, a field that is already raising ethical concerns. Military experiments with stimulants, cognitive enhancers, and emotion-altering substances have long been documented, from the use of amphetamines in World War II to more recent research into neurological warfare.</p>
  197.  
  198.  
  199.  
  200. <p>The idea that a drug could be developed to intensify human aggression is not purely speculative. The science behind how the amygdala, the brain&#8217;s center for fear and rage, can be chemically stimulated is well understood. <em>Berserker</em> simply takes this research one terrifying step further.</p>
  201.  
  202.  
  203.  
  204. <p>Dr. Peter Black, speaking about his inspiration for <em>Berserker</em>, states:</p>
  205.  
  206.  
  207.  
  208. <p><em>&#8220;Domestic terrorism must concern us all. I wondered—if such groups had a truly potent weapon at their disposal, what would happen?&#8221;</em></p>
  209.  
  210.  
  211.  
  212. <p>As MacGregor and his allies race against time to stop the spread of the drug, the novel forces the reader to confront an unsettling question: how close are we as a civilization to chaos? If history shows us that leaders have always sought ways to control and manipulate populations, what would happen if they had access to a pharmacological tool capable of turning ordinary people into mindless aggressors? Dr. Peter Black&#8217;s <em>Berserker</em> reminds us that the greatest threats are often not the ones we see coming but the ones quietly engineered behind closed doors.</p>

  237. <p>(Reuters) &#8211; Apple (AAPL.O), took a challenge against EU regulators to Europe&#8217;s second highest court on Monday after they fined it 500 million euros ($587 million) earlier this year for breaching landmark rules aimed at curbing the power of Big Tech.</p>
  238.  
  239.  
  240.  
  241. <p>The European Commission in a decision in April said the iPhone maker&#8217;s technical and commercial restrictions that prevent app developers from steering users to cheaper deals outside the App Store breached the Digital Markets Act.</p>
  242.  
  243.  
  244.  
  245. <p>Apple, which had previously said it would seek legal redress, filed its lawsuit on Monday, the deadline for doing so.</p>
  246.  
  247.  
  248.  
  249. <p>&#8220;Today we filed our appeal because we believe the European Commission&#8217;s decision &#8211; and their unprecedented fine &#8211; go far beyond what the law requires,&#8221; the company said in a statement.</p>
  250.  
  251.  
  252.  
  253. <p>&#8220;As our appeal will show, the EC is mandating how we run our store and forcing business terms which are confusing for developers and bad for users. We implemented this to avoid punitive daily fines and will share the facts with the court.&#8221;</p>
  254.  
  255.  
  256.  
  257. <p>Last month, Apple overhauled its App Store rules to comply with the EU order to scrap its technical and commercial curbs on app developers in order to avoid daily fines of 5% of its average daily worldwide revenue or about 50 million euros per day.</p>
  258.  
  259.  
  260.  
  261. <p>The EU competition watchdog is seeking feedback from app developers before deciding whether to accept the changes or demand more.</p>

  302. <p>Security is no longer just about locking a door and hoping for the best. As both residential and commercial spaces become smarter, there&#8217;s a growing demand for access control systems that are not only reliable but also intuitive and adaptable. Smart access solutions bring a new level of safety, control, and peace of mind to the places we live and work.</p>
  303.  
  304.  
  305.  
  306. <p><strong>Why Smart Access Matters</strong></p>
  307.  
  308.  
  309.  
  310. <p>The <a href="https://www.journeymanhq.com/85896/7-benefits-of-smart-locks-vs-traditional-locks/">concept of smart access goes far beyond simple locks and keys</a>. These systems use advanced technology to manage entry points using keypads, biometric scanners, proximity cards, mobile apps, or cloud-based platforms. What makes these solutions &#8220;smart&#8221; is their ability to offer real-time data, remote control, and tailored user permissions — all from a single dashboard or device.</p>
  311.  
  312.  
  313.  
  314. <p>As threats to physical security continue to evolve, having an adaptable system becomes essential. Whether it&#8217;s to secure a family home, prevent unauthorized entry at a business, or monitor access in a multi-unit building, these technologies provide a strong, proactive defense.</p>
  315.  
  316.  
  317.  
  318. <p><strong>Safety at Home</strong></p>
  319.  
  320.  
  321.  
  322. <p>For homeowners, smart access systems make daily life more secure and convenient. Parents can track when their kids arrive home from school. Residents can remotely unlock the door for guests, dog walkers, or delivery personnel — without handing out spare keys that can be easily lost or duplicated.</p>
  323.  
  324.  
  325.  
  326. <p>Many systems integrate seamlessly with other smart home devices, such as security cameras, alarms, or lights. For instance, unlocking the door could trigger indoor lighting and deactivate the alarm, making the transition inside more welcoming and secure.</p>
  327.  
  328.  
  329.  
  330. <p>Homeowners also appreciate the ability to create temporary access codes, ideal for house guests or maintenance workers. If someone no longer needs access, the code can simply be deleted — no need to change locks or rekey doors.</p>
  331.  
  332.  
  333.  
  334. <p><strong>Workplace Benefits</strong></p>
  335.  
  336.  
  337.  
  338. <p>In business environments, access control systems play a vital role in safeguarding employees, assets, and sensitive data. Modern workplaces face a variety of security challenges, from managing employee turnover to tracking building access after hours.</p>
  339.  
  340.  
  341.  
  342. <p>Advanced systems allow business owners to assign different levels of access to various team members. For example, administrative staff may only need access during regular hours, while IT or maintenance personnel may require round-the-clock access. These permissions can be updated instantly without the need to physically collect or redistribute keys.</p>
  343.  
  344.  
  345.  
  346. <p>When it comes to securing commercial buildings, <a href="https://www.garberelectric.com/services/life-safety/access-control/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">access control Columbus OH</a> providers like Garber Electric offer tailored solutions that combine technology with hands-on expertise. Their systems are designed to grow with your business, keeping safety a top priority without disrupting daily operations.</p>
  347.  
  348.  
  349.  
  350. <p><strong>Scalability and Customization</strong></p>
  351.  
  352.  
  353.  
  354. <p>One of the strongest benefits of smart access solutions is scalability. As your needs change — whether you&#8217;re expanding your home, <a href="https://www.yourthoughtpartner.com/blog/bid/73916/6-tips-to-help-employees-grow-and-develop">growing your team</a>, or opening new locations — your access system can evolve with you. It&#8217;s easy to add new users, incorporate additional doors, or upgrade hardware without starting from scratch.</p>
  355.  
  356.  
  357.  
  358. <p>Customization is also a key feature. You can choose systems that log entry data, integrate with video surveillance, or even notify you via text or email when a door is opened. These features are especially useful for business owners who manage multiple sites or for families who want to stay informed no matter where they are.</p>
  359.  
  360.  
  361.  
  362. <p><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p>
  363.  
  364.  
  365.  
  366. <p>As the world becomes increasingly connected, smart access technology is not a luxury — it&#8217;s a necessity. The ability to secure property, monitor activity, and control access from virtually anywhere offers unmatched convenience and protection. From single-family homes to multi-story office buildings, smart systems are changing the way we think about safety.</p>
  367.  
  368.  
  369.  
  370. <p>If you&#8217;re considering an upgrade, explore modern access control options that align with your space, lifestyle, and security goals. Staying safe shouldn&#8217;t be complicated — and with smart access, it doesn&#8217;t have to be.</p>

  395. <p>(Reuters) &#8211; Alphabet&#8217;s (GOOGL.O), Google has been hit by an EU antitrust complaint over its AI Overviews from a group of independent publishers, which has also asked for an interim measure to prevent allegedly irreparable harm to them, according to a document seen by Reuters.</p>
  396.  
  397.  
  398.  
  399. <p>Google&#8217;s AI Overviews are AI-generated summaries that appear above traditional hyperlinks to relevant webpages and are shown to users in more than 100 countries. It began adding advertisements to AI Overviews last May.</p>
  400.  
  401.  
  402.  
  403. <p>The company is making its biggest bet by integrating AI into search but the move has sparked concerns from some content providers such as publishers.</p>
  404.  
  405.  
  406.  
  407. <p>The Independent Publishers Alliance document, dated June 30, sets out a complaint to the European Commission and alleges that Google abuses its market power in online search.</p>
  408.  
  409.  
  410.  
  411. <p>&#8220;Google&#8217;s core search engine service is misusing web content for Google&#8217;s AI Overviews in Google Search, which have caused, and continue to cause, significant harm to publishers, including news publishers in the form of traffic, readership and revenue loss,&#8221; the document said.</p>
  412.  
  413.  
  414.  
  415. <p>It said Google positions its AI Overviews at the top of its general search engine results page to display its own summaries which are generated using publisher material and it alleges that Google&#8217;s positioning disadvantages publishers&#8217; original content.</p>
  416.  
  417.  
  418.  
  419. <p>&#8220;Publishers using Google Search do not have the option to opt out from their material being ingested for Google&#8217;s AI large language model training and/or from being crawled for summaries, without losing their ability to appear in Google&#8217;s general search results page,&#8221; the complaint said.</p>
  420.  
  421.  
  422.  
  423. <p>The Commission declined to comment.</p>
  424.  
  425.  
  426.  
  427. <p>The UK&#8217;s Competition and Markets Authority confirmed receipt of the complaint.</p>
  428.  
  429.  
  430.  
  431. <p>Google said it sends billions of clicks to websites each day.</p>
  432.  
  433.  
  434.  
  435. <p>&#8220;New AI experiences in Search enable people to ask even more questions, which creates new opportunities for content and businesses to be discovered,&#8221; a Google spokesperson said.</p>
  436.  
  437.  
  438.  
  439. <p>The Independent Publishers Alliance&#8217;s website says it is a nonprofit community advocating for independent publishers, which it does not name.</p>
  440.  
  441.  
  442.  
  443. <p>The Movement for an Open Web, whose members include digital advertisers and publishers, and British non-profit Foxglove Legal Community Interest Company, which says it advocates for fairness in the tech world, are also signatories to the complaint.</p>
  444.  
  445.  
  446.  
  447. <p>They said an interim measure was necessary to prevent serious irreparable harm to competition and to ensure access to news.</p>
  448.  
  449.  
  450.  
  451. <p>Google said numerous claims about traffic from search are often based on highly incomplete and skewed data.</p>
  452.  
  453.  
  454.  
  455. <p>&#8220;The reality is that sites can gain and lose traffic for a variety of reasons, including seasonal demand, interests of users, and regular algorithmic updates to Search,&#8221; the Google spokesperson said.</p>
  456.  
  457.  
  458.  
  459. <p>Foxglove co-executive director Rosa Curling said journalists and publishers face a dire situation.</p>
  460.  
  461.  
  462.  
  463. <p>&#8220;Independent news faces an existential threat: Google&#8217;s AI Overviews,&#8221; she told Reuters.</p>
  464.  
  465.  
  466.  
  467. <p>&#8220;That&#8217;s why with this complaint, Foxglove and our partners are urging the European Commission, along with other regulators around the world, to take a stand and allow independent journalism to opt out,&#8221; Curling said.</p>
  468.  
  469.  
  470.  
  471. <p>The three groups have filed a similar complaint and a request for an interim measure to the UK competition authority.</p>
  472.  
  473.  
  474.  
  475. <p>The complaints echoed a U.S. lawsuit by a U.S. edtech company which said Google&#8217;s AI Overviews is eroding demand for original content and undermining publishers&#8217; ability to compete that have resulted in a drop in visitors and subscribers.</p>

  520. <p>Currently serving as Chairman of World Wide Solutions and Strategic Development, Denys Kovtun oversees a diversified global holding. The firm specializes in international finance, digital payment systems, and financial services. His path began in Kharkiv, Ukraine, shaping a leadership style defined by innovation, determination, and strategic clarity.</p>
  521.  
  522.  
  523.  
  524. <p>Despite operating globally, Denys remains deeply committed to his Ukrainian roots. His contributions go beyond business, reflecting a powerful sense of national responsibility and social engagement.</p>
  525.  
  526.  
  527.  
  528. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Strengthening communities through sport</h2>
  529.  
  530.  
  531.  
  532. <p>Denys invested personally in the future of Ukrainian sports. He became a co-owner of Metallist 1925, a prominent Kharkiv football club. Through this investment, he helped improve local sports infrastructure and create opportunities for young talent.</p>
  533.  
  534.  
  535.  
  536. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Mobilizing aid during wartime</h2>
  537.  
  538.  
  539.  
  540. <p>The Russian invasion of Ukraine transformed Denys’s role from business leader to hands-on humanitarian. He redirected resources, expertise, and networks to support Ukraine’s defense and relief efforts. The contributions span financial aid, logistical coordination, and direct volunteer work.</p>
  541.  
  542.  
  543.  
  544. <p>Denys’s efforts have made a tangible impact. In recognition of his contributions, he was awarded a national medal in 2023 for outstanding voluntary service.</p>
  545.  
  546.  
  547.  
  548. <p>“It is not just about aid &#8211; it’s about resilience, strategic action, and ensuring the country’s future.”</p>
  549.  
  550.  
  551.  
  552. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><a></a>Developing talent from within</h2>
  553.  
  554.  
  555.  
  556. <p>Three principles guide Denys’s leadership:</p>
  557.  
  558.  
  559.  
  560. <ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
  561. <li><strong>Decisiveness</strong>. He simplifies complex challenges and acts quickly.</li>
  562.  
  563.  
  564.  
  565. <li><strong>Empowerment</strong>. He trusts his teams, giving them autonomy to execute.</li>
  566.  
  567.  
  568.  
  569. <li><strong>Resilience</strong>. He remains calm in crisis, turning obstacles into opportunities.</li>
  570. </ol>
  571.  
  572.  
  573.  
  574. <p>Denys believes strong businesses invest in their people. Under his leadership, internal promotions have become a core part of company culture. Employees who show commitment, expertise, and leadership potential advance through the ranks. Structured training programs sharpen their skills, creating specialized teams that push industry standards forward.</p>
  575.  
  576.  
  577.  
  578. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Committing to lifelong learning</h2>
  579.  
  580.  
  581.  
  582. <p>Denys promotes education, providing employees with financial support for training in fintech, cybersecurity, compliance, and emerging technologies. He invests in knowledge and ensures his teams stay agile and equipped to lead in a fast-changing market.</p>
  583.  
  584.  
  585.  
  586. <p>Denys has built more than a thriving company &#8211; he has created an ecosystem that fosters expertise and sustainable growth.</p>
  587.  
  588.  
  589.  
  590. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>The resilience imperative</h2>
  591.  
  592.  
  593.  
  594. <p>Ultimately, Denys Kovtun’s story encapsulates a broader truth: resilience defines both effective leadership and national strength. In times of crisis, true leaders adapt, invest in people, and create opportunities where others see obstacles. His ability to turn adversity into progress reflects the spirit of Ukraine itself &#8211; unbreakable, forward-thinking, and ready for the future.</p>

  619. <p>Talking about money can feel like stepping into a room full of landmines. You never know what might set someone off or make them feel embarrassed or defensive. But the truth is, money touches almost every part of our lives — from what we eat and where we live to whether we can take that dream vacation or buy a new car.</p>
  620.  
  621.  
  622.  
  623. <p>A lot of people avoid money talks until they hit a crisis point, like when they suddenly realize they can’t make rent or consider taking out an <a href="https://www.choicecash.com/in/">Indiana title loan</a> to cover bills. But what if we treated money conversations like regular maintenance instead of emergency repairs? Like checking the oil in your car instead of waiting for the engine light to come on.</p>
  624.  
  625.  
  626.  
  627. <p>Let’s break down some ways to make talking about money a lot less stressful and a lot more productive.</p>
  628.  
  629.  
  630.  
  631. <p><strong>Understand Your Own Money Mindset First</strong></p>
  632.  
  633.  
  634.  
  635. <p>Before you even start a conversation with someone else, it’s important to figure out your own feelings about money. What did you learn about money growing up? Are you a saver who feels safest with cash in the bank or a spender who loves treating yourself and others?</p>
  636.  
  637.  
  638.  
  639. <p>Understanding your own mindset helps you avoid projecting your feelings onto someone else. For example, if you think debt is the ultimate evil, you might judge your partner for wanting to finance a new phone. Recognizing these patterns can make you more compassionate and open during discussions.</p>
  640.  
  641.  
  642.  
  643. <p><strong>Set the Scene for Success</strong></p>
  644.  
  645.  
  646.  
  647. <p>Choose the right time and place to talk. Don’t start a big money conversation when someone just walked in from work or during a family gathering. Pick a calm, private moment when you both have the energy to focus.</p>
  648.  
  649.  
  650.  
  651. <p>Make sure it feels like a safe space where everyone can speak freely without fear of being judged or shut down. You might even set some ground rules, like no interrupting or no blaming. This helps create an environment where both people can be honest and open.</p>
  652.  
  653.  
  654.  
  655. <p><strong>Frame It as a Team Effort</strong></p>
  656.  
  657.  
  658.  
  659. <p>One big mistake people make is turning money talks into a battle of “mine vs. yours.” Instead, think of it as a team strategy session. You’re both on the same side, working together to reach shared goals, whether that’s saving for a house, paying off debt, or avoiding the need for an Indiana title loan in the future.</p>
  660.  
  661.  
  662.  
  663. <p>Using phrases like “How can we make this work?” or “What can we do to reach this goal together?” shifts the focus away from blame and toward solutions. It’s not about who’s right or wrong; it’s about building a plan that works for both of you.</p>
  664.  
  665.  
  666.  
  667. <p><strong>Be Honest but Kind</strong></p>
  668.  
  669.  
  670.  
  671. <p>Honesty is non-negotiable when it comes to money talks. Hiding purchases or debts only creates more problems later. But honesty doesn’t mean being harsh. You can be truthful without being hurtful.</p>
  672.  
  673.  
  674.  
  675. <p>If you’re worried about someone’s spending habits, try saying, “I noticed we’ve been spending more than we planned. Can we look at the budget together?” instead of “You’re always wasting money!” The first opens a door; the second slams it shut.</p>
  676.  
  677.  
  678.  
  679. <p><strong>Listen More Than You Talk</strong></p>
  680.  
  681.  
  682.  
  683. <p>A lot of money arguments happen because people don’t feel heard. Make it a point to really listen when the other person shares their thoughts and feelings. Repeat back what they say to show you understand, and ask questions if you’re confused.</p>
  684.  
  685.  
  686.  
  687. <p>Sometimes people just need to feel that their worries are valid before they can be open to finding a solution. Being a good listener builds trust and keeps the conversation moving forward in a positive direction.</p>
  688.  
  689.  
  690.  
  691. <p><strong>Make a Plan Together</strong></p>
  692.  
  693.  
  694.  
  695. <p>After you’ve talked things through, work together to <a href="https://consumer.gov/your-money/making-budget">create a game plan</a>. Write down your goals, whether they’re paying off credit cards, building an emergency fund, or saving for a vacation.</p>
  696.  
  697.  
  698.  
  699. <p>Decide who will handle what parts of the plan and set a time to check in on your progress. This keeps both of you accountable and makes it feel like a shared mission instead of a burden on one person’s shoulders.</p>
  700.  
  701.  
  702.  
  703. <p><strong>Check In Regularly</strong></p>
  704.  
  705.  
  706.  
  707. <p>Don’t wait until you’re panicking over bills or debating whether to take out an Indiana title loan before you talk about money again. Schedule regular money check-ins, maybe once a month or every other month.</p>
  708.  
  709.  
  710.  
  711. <p>During these check-ins, go over your goals, review your budget, and talk about any new concerns. Keeping the conversation ongoing makes it feel normal and less intimidating over time.</p>
  712.  
  713.  
  714.  
  715. <p><strong>Celebrate Wins — Big or Small</strong></p>
  716.  
  717.  
  718.  
  719. <p>Whenever you make progress, celebrate it. Paid off a credit card? High five. Finally saved up <a href="https://www.consumerfinance.gov/an-essential-guide-to-building-an-emergency-fund/">for that emergency fund</a>? Treat yourselves to a nice dinner at home.</p>
  720.  
  721.  
  722.  
  723. <p>Celebrating money milestones helps keep you motivated and reminds you both why these conversations matter. It’s a way to turn financial talks from something you dread into something that feels rewarding.</p>
  724.  
  725.  
  726.  
  727. <p><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></p>
  728.  
  729.  
  730.  
  731. <p>Money doesn’t have to be a taboo topic or a constant source of stress. By approaching it with openness, compassion, and teamwork, you can turn money conversations into powerful tools for building trust and reaching your goals.</p>
  732.  
  733.  
  734.  
  735. <p>Remember, the goal isn’t to “win” the conversation but to understand each other better and create a plan that works for both of you. When you see it as a partnership rather than a battle, you’ll be surprised at how much easier (and even fun) money talks can become.</p>
  736.  
  737.  
  738.  
  739. <p>So grab a cup of coffee, pick a calm afternoon, and start that conversation today. Your future self — and your relationship — will thank you.</p>

  764. <p>(Reuters) &#8211; Surge AI, a data-labeling firm that competes with Scale AI, has hired advisors to raise as much as $1 billion in the first capital raising in the firm&#8217;s history, sources told Reuters, as it seeks to capitalize on growing user demand amid Scale AI&#8217;s recent customer exodus.</p>
  765.  
  766.  
  767.  
  768. <p>The company, founded by former Google and Meta engineer Edwin Chen, is targeting a valuation of over $15 billion, sources said, cautioning that the talks are still in early stages and the final number could be higher. The funding would be a mix of primary and secondary capital that provides liquidity for the employees.</p>
  769.  
  770.  
  771.  
  772. <p>Surge AI, which has been profitable and bootstrapped by Chen, has raked in over $1 billion in revenue last year, bigger than its better-known competitor Scale AI, which reported $870 million in revenue over the same period of time.</p>
  773.  
  774.  
  775.  
  776. <p>In comparison, Scale AI was valued at $14 billion in a funding round last year, and was mostly recently valued at nearly $29 billion when Meta invested for a 49% stake in the company and poached its CEO Alexandr Wang to be its chief AI officer to lead its new Superintelligence Labs.</p>
  777.  
  778.  
  779.  
  780. <p>Surge AI declined to comment.</p>
  781.  
  782.  
  783.  
  784. <p>Like other Scale AI competitors, Surge AI is benefiting from Scale AI&#8217;s customer losses following Meta&#8217;s investment. This includes OpenAI and Scale&#8217;s largest customer, Google, who are now planning to move away from the platform over concerns that doing business with Scale could expose their research priorities to Meta. Scale has said its business remains strong, and it is committed to protecting customer data.</p>
  785.  
  786.  
  787.  
  788. <p>Surge AI’s quiet yet meteoric rise has positioned it as one of the largest players in the crowded data labeling industry, defying the typical Silicon Valley playbook of raising massive rounds of venture capital to fuel growth. Founded in 2020, the San Francisco-based company has largely operated under the radar, known for its premium, high-end data labeling services used by top AI labs, including Google, OpenAI and Anthropic.</p>
  789.  
  790.  
  791.  
  792. <p>As reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has become more important in training advanced AI systems, the demand for meticulously labeled, nuanced datasets has grown. Surge AI has capitalized on this trend by appealing to a network of highly skilled contractors instead of large pools of low-wage labor.</p>
  793.  
  794.  
  795.  
  796. <p>The outsized funding of Surge would be a test of investor interest in the data labeling sector. Some investors view data labeling as an ongoing necessity for AI development, predicting a continued demand from leading AI labs. Others express concern that the industry’s low margins and reliance on human labor could make it vulnerable to automation, as AI technology advances and the need for manual annotation diminishes.</p>

  837. <p>Ultrasound scans have become one of the most commonly used diagnostic tools in modern medicine. Whether it’s used to monitor pregnancy, investigate abdominal pain, or assess the health of internal organs, ultrasound technology plays a vital role in both urgent and routine healthcare. But how exactly does one go about getting an ultrasound in the UK and how long can you expect to wait?</p>
  838.  
  839.  
  840.  
  841. <p>With pressure on <a href="https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/services-near-you/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>NHS services</strong></a> and growing interest in faster, more flexible alternatives, many people are now exploring the option of a <a href="https://www.thegpsurgery.co.uk/doctor/private-ultrasound-scan-london/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Private Ultrasound in London</strong></a>.</p>
  842.  
  843.  
  844.  
  845. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Standard Route: Ultrasound via the NHS</h2>
  846.  
  847.  
  848.  
  849. <p>For most people, the process of getting an ultrasound begins with a visit to their GP. If a doctor believes a scan is medically necessary, they will refer the patient to an NHS hospital or clinic. The scan itself is free of charge, provided it is carried out under the NHS.</p>
  850.  
  851.  
  852.  
  853. <p>Once the referral is made, patients are typically added to a waiting list. In urgent cases, such as suspected gallstones, deep vein thrombosis or pregnancy complications, the scan may be scheduled within days. However, for routine or non-urgent referrals, waiting times can vary significantly depending on the region and current demand.&nbsp;</p>
  854.  
  855.  
  856.  
  857. <p>In many areas, patients report waiting several weeks or months.</p>
  858.  
  859.  
  860.  
  861. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What an Ultrasound Involves</h2>
  862.  
  863.  
  864.  
  865. <p>An ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body. It’s a non-invasive, painless procedure, most commonly used to examine:</p>
  866.  
  867.  
  868.  
  869. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  870. <li>Abdominal organs (liver, kidneys, gallbladder)</li>
  871.  
  872.  
  873.  
  874. <li>Pelvic organs (ovaries, uterus, bladder)</li>
  875.  
  876.  
  877.  
  878. <li>Muscles, tendons and joints (musculoskeletal ultrasound</li>
  879.  
  880.  
  881.  
  882. <li>Early pregnancy and foetal development</li>
  883.  
  884.  
  885.  
  886. <li>Thyroid and testicular health</li>
  887.  
  888.  
  889.  
  890. <li>Blood flow through vessels (vascular ultrasound)</li>
  891. </ul>
  892.  
  893.  
  894.  
  895. <p>Depending on the area being scanned, you may be asked to fast beforehand or arrive with a full bladder. Most scans are completed within 15–30 minutes and require no recovery time.</p>
  896.  
  897.  
  898.  
  899. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Private Ultrasound: Faster &amp; More Flexible</h2>
  900.  
  901.  
  902.  
  903. <p>With more people in London working long or unusual hours, and NHS waiting lists under strain, a growing number of patients are opting for private ultrasound services.&nbsp;</p>
  904.  
  905.  
  906.  
  907. <p>When you book a <strong>Private Ultrasound in London,</strong> it offers the advantage of shorter waiting times, often same-day or next-day, as well as a broader selection of scan types not always available through the NHS.</p>
  908.  
  909.  
  910.  
  911. <p>Unlike the NHS pathway, private scans do not require a GP referral. Patients can contact the clinic directly, explain their concerns, and book an appropriate scan at a time that suits them. This approach is particularly appealing to those with busy schedules, international travel commitments, or ongoing concerns that have not yet met the NHS threshold for investigation.</p>
  912.  
  913.  
  914.  
  915. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">What to Expect from a Private Ultrasound</h3>
  916.  
  917.  
  918.  
  919. <p>Private ultrasound clinics in London, such as <strong>The GP Surgery</strong>, offer access to state-of-the-art equipment and experienced imaging professionals. Patients benefit from:</p>
  920.  
  921.  
  922.  
  923. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  924. <li>Fast access to appointments</li>
  925.  
  926.  
  927.  
  928. <li>A wider range of diagnostic scans</li>
  929.  
  930.  
  931.  
  932. <li>Detailed reports often available within 24-48 hours</li>
  933.  
  934.  
  935.  
  936. <li>The option to consult a GP before or after the scan</li>
  937.  
  938.  
  939.  
  940. <li>Transparent, fixed pricing with no hidden fees</li>
  941. </ul>
  942.  
  943.  
  944.  
  945. <p>For individuals seeking reassurance, early diagnosis, or simply a more convenient experience, the private route is increasingly seen as a practical and worthwhile choice.</p>
  946.  
  947.  
  948.  
  949. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">When to Consider a Private Ultrasound</h2>
  950.  
  951.  
  952.  
  953. <p>While the NHS remains an essential and trusted service, a private ultrasound can be especially helpful if:</p>
  954.  
  955.  
  956.  
  957. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  958. <li>You’ve been experiencing symptoms but haven’t yet been referred</li>
  959.  
  960.  
  961.  
  962. <li>You want a second opinion or early diagnostic insight</li>
  963.  
  964.  
  965.  
  966. <li>You’re looking for a specific type of scan not routinely offered by the NHS</li>
  967.  
  968.  
  969.  
  970. <li>You want a quicker, more flexible appointment without delay</li>
  971. </ul>
  972.  
  973.  
  974.  
  975. <p>Private healthcare is no longer limited to those with private insurance. Private clinics like <a href="https://www.thegpsurgery.co.uk/doctor/private-gp-appointment-london/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The GP Surgery</a> make it simple to arrange diagnostic scans with minimal hassle, offering fast answers and peace of mind. They offer fast routine tests, such as <a href="https://www.thegpsurgery.co.uk/doctor/private-blood-tests-london/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">private blood tests</a>.</p>
  976.  
  977.  
  978.  
  979. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How much does it cost for a Private Ultrasound</h2>
  980.  
  981.  
  982.  
  983. <p>Prices vary between providers, and depending on the body part that requires ultrasound (and the appropriate expert needed to interpret the results). Your best bet is to contact companies that offer<a href="https://www.thegpsurgery.co.uk/doctor/private-gp-appointment-london/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Private Ultrasound London</a> to find out the specific costs for your requirement. Good providers will tell you the fixed cost over the phone, with no hidden extras.</p>
  984.  
  985.  
  986.  
  987. <p>Remember, if you think you have a serious medical problem, contact your GP straight away, or for medical emergencies, visit your local A&amp;E (Accident &amp; Emergency) Centre, or dial 999 and ask for an ambulance.</p>
