    The actor eventually took legal action against the company. Despite the claims, OpenAI denied using Johansson’s voice. It is thought that OpenAI later removed the voice from its demo.

  • Anshuman Gaekwad, Former India Cricketer And Coach, Passes Away At 71 | cricket news

    In a poignant moment for the cricketing world, Anshuman Gaekwad, the former stalwart of Indian cricket, bid farewell at the age of 71 after battling bravely against blood cancer. Gaekwad’s legacy transcends mere statistics; it embodies the resilience and grace that define the spirit of the sport. An illustrious career spanning 40 Tests and 15 ODIs saw Gaekwad carve a niche as a formidable batsman for India. His monumental innings, including a patient 201 against Pakistan that spanned an astonishing 671 minutes, underlined his tenacity and technique. Notably, his gritty 81 against a fearful West Indies bowling attack remains etched in cricketing folklore, symbolizing courage in an era devoid of protective gear.

    Gaekwad’s Coaching Odyssey

    Transitioning seamlessly from player to mentor, Gaekwad embarked on two distinct coaching stints with Team India. Amidst the Sachin Tendulkar era and the turbulence of the match-fixing scandal, his leadership steered India through pivotal moments. Highlights include the Independence Cup triumph, a historic home series victory against Australia, and Anil Kumble’s legendary 10-wicket haul that leveled a crucial Test series.

    Legacy Beyond the Boundary

    Beyond his on-field exploits and coaching acumen, Gaekwad’s impact extended into the fabric of Indian cricketing culture. His influence as a selector and coach nurtured talents and shaped careers, leaving an indelible imprint on the sport’s evolution in the country.

    Farewell and Tributes

    Gaekwad’s recent battle with health complications prompted an outpouring of tributes from across the cricketing fraternity. The BCCI’s gesture of support, releasing INR 1 crore towards his treatment, underscores the profound respect and admiration he commanded.

  • Relief to SIMS employees from High Court, ban on unilateral discharge, permission given to work

    Virendra Gahwai, Bilaspur. The High Court has given a big relief to the petitioners in the case of unilateral discharge of nurses and other employees of SIMS. The court has directed them to remain employed in SIMS and mark their attendance, as well as issue a notice to the government and reply.

    In fact, SIMS employees Geeta Haldar, Damyanti Kashyap, Sharda Yadav, and V Lakshmi Rao have been serving here since before 2001. At the time of establishment of SIMS in 2001, they were considered to be on deputation to Guru Ghasidas University, while their intention was not asked. In 2006, SIMS was again taken over by the government and the services of the petitioners were again given on deputation to the Director, Medical Education. Since then, the petitioners have been continuously serving in SIMS.

    Let us tell you that on 28 June 2024, the SIMS administration suddenly relieved the petitioners from duty and ordered them to take charge in the office of the Chief Medical and Health Officer. On the other hand, the Chief Medical and Health Officer refused to give joining to these employees on the ground that he has not received any such order from the government.

    Aggrieved by this order, the employees filed a petition in the High Court. In the petition, they alleged that the SIMS administration has not followed the service law and without knowing their intention, they were ordered to be transferred from one department to another, which is against the fundamental rules and is a violation of the constitutional rights of the employees. The High Court has issued a notice to the government and asked it to respond, directing the petitioners to remain employed in SIMS and mark their attendance.

  • Iran’s Supreme Leader Orders Attack On Israel After Ismail Haniyeh Killing: Report | world news

    New Delhi: Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has directed Iran to launch a direct attack on Israel in response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, reported ANI citing the New York Times report containing statements from three Iranian officials, including two Revolutionary Guards members.

    Khamenei issued the directive during an emergency session of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council on Wednesday morning, soon after Iran reported the death of Haniyeh.

    Haniyeh was assassinated around 2 am local time, following a ceremony and a meeting with Khamenei. The killing has stunned Iranian officials, who have labeled it as a serious breach of red lines.

    Both Iran and Hamas have pointed fingers at Israel for the assassination. However, Israel that is currently at war with Hamas in the Gaza strip has neither acknowledged nor denied any killing. Haniyeh was in Tehran for the inauguration of Iran’s new president.

    The NYT further noted that Israel has a history of targeting enemies abroad, including Iranian nuclear scientists and military commanders. Over nearly 10 months of conflict in Gaza, Iran has sought to balance its approach by intensifying attacks through its allies and proxy forces in the region, while trying to prevent a full-scale war with Israel.

    In its most direct assault on Israel, Iran fired hundreds of missiles and drones in April in response to an Israeli attack on its embassy compound in Damascus, which resulted in the deaths of several Iranian military commanders.

    “Now it is unclear how forcefully Iran will respond, and whether it will once again calibrate its attack to steer clear of escalation. Iranian military commanders are considering another combination attack of drones and missiles on military targets in the vicinity of Tel Aviv and Haifa but would make a point of avoiding strikes on civilian targets,” the Iranian officials said, reported ANI.

    Khamenei, who has the last word on all state matters and is also the commander in chief of the armed forces, instructed military commanders from the Revolutionary Guards and the army to prepare plans for both an attack and a defense in case the war expands and Israel or the US strike Iran, the officials said.
