Quick Glance: Teenager Accused of Sydney Church Stabbing Displays Signs of Mental Illness, Court Reveals

A teenage boy facing a potential life sentence for terrorism in the stabbing of a bishop has exhibited behaviors consistent with mental illness or intellectual disability, according to his lawyer.

The 16-year-old is alleged to have traveled 90 minutes from his home to attack Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel during a livestreamed sermon at Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley, Sydney.

Investigators from a joint counter-terrorism team, comprising state and federal police and Asio staff, interviewed the boy in his hospital bed before charging him with committing a terrorist act.

Quick Glance: Netflix to Cease Reporting Subscriber Numbers from 2025

Netflix will no longer report subscriber numbers starting from the first quarter of 2025. The announcement came with the first quarter 2024 results where Netflix exceeded expectations.

Despite the success in the first quarter, Netflix shares dropped over 4.5% after-hours upon revealing the decision to stop reporting quarterly subscriber totals.

The choice to discontinue reporting quarterly membership numbers or average revenue per member is based on Netflix's belief that engagement time is the best indicator of customer satisfaction.

Netflix plans to announce major subscriber milestones but will halt reporting quarterly subscriber numbers and shift investor focus towards time-spent-viewing metrics.

India's Biocon developing its own version of Wegovy, clinical trial likely next year

Quick Glance: Biocon Developing Own Version of Wegovy, Plans Clinical Trial

Indian pharmaceutical company Biocon is working on developing its own version of Novo Nordisk's popular Wegovy and is likely to conduct a clinical trial next year to enter the growing weight-loss drug market.

Biocon's CEO, Siddharth Mittal, has expressed the company's intention to develop semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, for the Indian market, even if it requires a clinical trial.

Biocon aims to introduce generic versions of weight-loss drugs in emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia before the patent for semaglutide expires in those countries in 2026.

The company is striving to obtain a waiver on clinical trials from Indian regulators and submit bioequivalence studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of their version of semaglutide. Biocon is making significant investments in generics research and development, including peptides for weight-loss drugs.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Ram Navami 2024: Sunlight brightens up Lord Ram’s forehead in ‘Surya Tilak’ ceremony in Ayodhya

financialexpress.com/india-news/ram-navami-2024-sunlight-illuminates-lord-ram-forehead-surya-tilak-in-ayodhya/3459711/

Quick Glance: Historic Event: Fusion of Science and Celebration at Ram Lalla's Surya Tilak

The Surya Tilak ceremony for Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir was a remarkable event that signified a significant turn after 500 years. Followers gathered to witness the event on the auspicious day of Ram Navami as the temple doors opened early in the morning. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust extended the darshan period, stressing that no special arrangements were made for the day.

During the Surya Abhishek or Surya Tilak ceremony, the sun's rays delicately touched the forehead of Ram Lalla. This remarkable occurrence was enabled by a sophisticated mechanism involving mirrors and lenses, symbolizing deep reverence. Developed by researchers from IIT-Roorkee, the device precisely directed sunlight onto the deity at noon, showcasing precision and devotion.

At the Ram Navami festival, followers could engage in darshan from the early hours of the morning, commencing with the Shringaar Aarti of Ram Lalla at 5 a.m. Offerings were presented at the temple exit after the Shayan Aarti. Emphasis was placed on securely storing belongings outside the temple premises to facilitate the darshan process.

Ram Janmabhoomi is celebrating a grand event for the second time after the pran pratishtha ceremony. Ram Navami is being celebrated with grandeur at Ram Mandir, featuring offerings of 56 types of bhog, prasad, and panjiri. Chief priest Acharya Satyendra Das affirmed that all arrangements for the celebration are overseen by the Trust, with Ram Navami being joyously commemorated.

Quick Glance: Rohit Sharma Takes Charge as Mumbai Indians Captain in Final Over After Akash Madhwal Ignores Hardik Pandya's Suggestions

Rohit Sharma took over as the captain of Mumbai Indians in the final over of the IPL 2024 match against Punjab Kings at the PCA Stadium in Mullanpur after Akash Madhwal ignored Hardik Pandya's inputs.

Preferring the young right-arm pacer despite Madhwal's poor performance, Hardik engaged in a lengthy discussion, prompting Rohit's intervention.

Due to their slow over rate, Mumbai Indians were limited to four fielders outside the 30-yard circle in the final over instead of the standard five.

Despite initial challenges, MI managed to clinch the match by effectively countering Rabada's final impactful shots and securing the victory.
