Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is set to lay off around 12,000 employees, its biggest workforce reduction to date. While the move might seem driven by automation, the company attributes it instead to a widening skills gap. As TCS shifts to newer technologies and agile delivery models, many existing roles especially at the mid and senior levels no longer align with business needs. Bench policies are also being tightened, with extended periods of unassigned time potentially leading to termination. TCS says it will offer support to affected employees, including severance pay, healthcare coverage, and job placement assistance. In this episode, Host Anirban Chowdhury, ET’s Beena Parmar and UnearthInsight CEO Gaurav Vasu unpack how this signals a larger industry shift where digital transformation is reshaping not just what tech companies do, but how they need to do it.You can follow Anirban Chowdhury on his social media: Twitter and Linkedin You can follow Beena Parmar on her Linkedin, Twitter profiles and read her Newspaper Articles.

When Tamil Nadu claimed the title of “India’s No. 1” in economic growth, Andhra Pradesh hit back with a sharp, self-aware message: “We are No. 2. We work harder.” Borrowing from a legendary advertising playbook, the move sparked a fresh wave of competition among southern states vying for investment and influence.

From reviving stalled mega-projects to enticing investors across state borders, AP is pulling out all stops to reclaim its place on India’s economic map.

“The effort you put in will go a long way toward helping you get healthier and fitter.”  Arsenic, one of the most widespread environmental toxins, is quietly infiltrating our everyday lives, silently lurking in common household items and even our food. Over time, this low-level exposure can accumulate, leading to a host of health issues— from cognitive decline and fatigue to organ damage and reproductive problems. The scariest part? Many of us remain blissfully unaware of the arsenic threat hiding in plain sight within our own homes. In this episode, Ann discusses the dangers of arsenic exposure and its impact on human health, as well as the debunking of the belief that moderate alcohol consumption has health benefits. She also explores natural approaches to addressing alcohol addiction, the importance of natural detox and exercise for maintaining optimal health, and tips for incorporating these practices into daily life.Connect with Ann on Social Media:  Website: https://seednutrition.com/Annt/home Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008572834952 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annthemasterhealer/ Email: Tamingdiabetes@yahoo.com Episode Highlights: 02:14 Arsenic Exposure From Food06:02 Arsenic and Liver Health11:17 Liver Health Tips 17:32 Exercises to Improve Blood Flow22:52 Dancing and Cardiovascular Health28:14 Myths About Alcohol 32:26 Natural Approaches for Alcohol AddictionResources: Ann's BookHeaven Scent: Listening to Your Inner Voice

When dispatch rider Efo Pascal recently returned to Accra on his motorbike from one of his delivery rounds, he came back with a dusty black sweater and helmet. “Since the whole of last week and this week, the dust is too much, and it is really bad. This is my first delivery today yet, see how dirty I look,” he said.Ghana is in the grip of this year's harmattan season — characterized by dry, dusty winds between the end of November through March — as winds from the Sahara desert reach West Africa.Since December, the skyline in Accra has been hazy with excessive dust flying in the air.Last week, Accra's air quality was labeled hazardous by the Ghana Meteorological Agency, the Environmental Protection Agency and other air quality monitoring platforms. The harmattan season is not new to Ghana, but experts say climate change is intensifying these harsh weather conditions and leading to increased health hazards. Pascal said that driving at night has become dangerous due to visibility problems. And his health, too, is taking a hit. He said he's already been to the hospital twice in the past two weeks due to breathing problems. “Breathing was really hard for me, especially at night."Efo Pascal, dispatch rider, Accra, Ghana“Breathing was really hard for me, especially at night. I had pains in my chest, and I was coughing,” he said as he pulled medicine out of his pocket. “The doctor said I had some infections from the air. That's why they gave me antibiotics,” he said.Yet he still struggles with his breathing. Last August, a team of scientists published new research indicating a substantial correlation between air pollution and antibiotic resistance, resulting in about 480,000 premature deaths in 2018.Pascal said he fears his health may deteriorate. And he's not the only one. Patience Denu, a teacher at the Fountain Basic School in Accra, said the current dry weather is making some children sick. Inside the school courtyard, children usually run around or chat with friends during recess — but the weather is taking a toll. “They [the children] are always complaining of headaches."Patience Denu, teacher, Fountain Basic School, Accra, Ghana“Their faces, all dry, their lips are breaking and all that. Because of that, they are always like, ‘My head…I'm feeling tired…' They are always complaining of headaches,” she said. Patience Denu is a teacher at Fountain Basic School in Accra, Ghana.   Credit: Ridwan Karim Dini-Osman/The World Denu said the situation is making schoolwork tedious. When the children don't feel well, she said the children have to spend a few days at home. The school may shut down if the situation does not improve, she added.  Emmanuel Osei Waziri is dropping off his children at school. He said he's concerned about Accra's worsening air quality. Emmanuel Osei Waziri, who recently dropped off his children at school, said he's worried. “The dust is everywhere, and it's hard to shield them from it. How do I even tell if it is not already affecting their lungs? We are still monitoring whether we may have to keep them at home for some time until the air becomes normal,” he said.Surge in respiratory illnessesSome hospitals are now seeing a surge in respiratory tract infections among children.At the Child Health Emergency unit of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Mabel Okine said her 2-year-old has been coughing excessively and having breathing difficulties in the last two weeks.“This is the third time I am bringing her to the hospital. We have tried prescriptions and even home remedies, but she is still not getting better. I sell water by the road and usually strap her on my back. So I think the air has entered her system,” she said.Pediatrician Dr. Frank Owusu Sekeyere said they are recording 30 respiratory tract infection cases per day compared to just six cases every two months before the harmattan season started. “So, the children are coming in with either a runny nose or they are snorty, coryza [acute mucous] and then, they are also coughing. And then sometimes, they also come with signs of respiratory tract infections."Dr. Frank Owusu Sekeyere, Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Accra, Ghana “So, the children are coming in with either a runny nose, or they are snorty, coryza [acute mucous], and then, they are also coughing. And then sometimes, they also come with signs of respiratory tract infections. What we also see is that fine particles in the air are worsening preexisting conditions. The situation is quite disturbing,” he said.'Health effects of climate change are very real'Accra now sits alongside Delhi, in India, as one of the most highly polluted cities in the world. The fastest-growing African city of 4 million people sees a daily influx of 2.5 million business commuters. And the city is already grappling with the effects of climate change due to rapid urbanization and industrialization.Selina Amoah, head of environmental quality at the EPA, said this year's harmattan season is worse than years prior. “From our monitoring locations along the roadside, we realized that the pollution levels are high — and this is largely due to climate change. Rising temperatures, changing wind patterns, and increased desertification have all contributed to the severity of the weather,” she said. Selina Amoah is head of environmental quality at the Environmental Protection Agency in Ghana.  Credit: Ridwan Karim Dini-Osman/The World The expansion of desert areas has led to an increase in dust that is then carried by the harmattan winds. Amoah said climate change can influence the intensity and duration of the harmattan season, potentially leading to more severe dust storms or altered patterns of dust transport. This can also have a detrimental impact on air quality.“The only thing we can do now is to take precautions to stay safe."Selina Amoah, head of environmental quality, Environmental Protection Agency, Accra, Ghana“The only thing we can do now is to take precautions to stay safe,” Amoah said. They are encouraging people to stay indoors and wear a mask if they must go outdoors. They are also asking the public to refrain from burning garbage outside and to use water to douse their surroundings in dusty areas.Dirty air results in 4 million deaths annually around the world. In Ghana, this translates to at least 28,000 premature deaths every year. Yet, just 1% of global development aid is spent on tackling air pollution.Akosua Kwakye, with the World Health Organization office in Ghana, said that air pollutants and greenhouse gasses often come from the same sources — coal-fired power plants and diesel-fueled vehicles.“What we are experiencing in Ghana shows that the health effects of climate change are very real."Akosua Kwakye, World Health Organization, Accra, Ghana“What we are experiencing in Ghana shows that the health effects of climate change are very real. There's evidence to indicate that issues like respiratory infections, cardiovascular diseases and even some cancers are attributable to the events of climate change,” she said. Akosua Kwakye is with the World Health Organization office in Ghana. She wants air pollution and climate change to be addressed collaboratively.   Credit: Ridwan Karim Dini-Osman/The World In 2022, the World Bank disclosed that global health-related damages linked to outdoor air pollution reached $8.1 trillion, equivalent to approximately 6.1% of the global gross domestic product. And the burden disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries like Ghana.Experts like Kwakye say that Ghana should begin to embrace green initiatives to include cleaner, renewable energy sources, phase out subsidies that promote use of polluting fuels, and plant more trees. But Emmanuel Appoh, an environmental scientist at the University of Ghana who inspects sensors at an Air Quality Evaluation facility, said the latest data shows no signs of improvement any time soon.“The current state of air quality is very unhealthy, and you have a lot of dust in the atmosphere. It is not encouraging at all. Hopefully, this does not lead us into a public health crisis,” he said.

Refute the Top 5 Gay Myths With this Incredible, Free eBook:https://ruthinstitute.org/top-5-myths   Get the full interview by joining us for exclusive, uncensored content on Locals: https://theruthinstitute.locals.com   Born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, Amy went to Oberlin College Conservatory of Music as a violinist, later graduating from Tufts University with a B.A. summa cum laude in history. She also earned an M.A.T. in Social Studies from Brown University, and a Violin Making Diploma from the North Bennet Street School in Boston. She has worked as a department administrator and staff assistant at Harvard University, as a high school teacher, and as a violin maker. Since 2004, she has worked with the pro-family activist hub, MassResistance, and is currently Director of Research for the pro-family organization.   In the early 1990s, Amy joined a concerned taxpayer organization and a group of parents opposed to radical sex education in the schools there. The same-sex marriage issue shocked her back into activism after years focused on raising her two children. In 2004, she joined Brian Camenker's efforts to remove the rogue judges in Massachusetts, and to strengthen parents' rights protections in the state. She began the MassResistance blog in 2005, its name acknowledging that leftists were in control of media, educational institutions, and all levels of government. The constitutional crisis in Massachusetts made crystal clear the betrayal by establishment Republicans who undermined conservatives from within the political party that should represent them. And that brought Amy to a close examination of Mitt Romney, the quintessential “establishment fixer,” and his role in the gay marriage saga.   Amy is the author of Corrupt Bargains: How Gay Marriage Began in Massachusetts, Mitt Romney's Deception, The Health Hazards of Homosexuality: What the Medical and Psychological Research Reveals, and, Passing the Trash: Covering Up Educators' Sex Crimes — and How a Superintendent Was Caught after Decades of Lies. Her columns have appeared in American Thinker, Salvo, Renew America, and MassResistance. Amy lived in Massachusetts for four decades.

But they want us to believe it was a bat to a penguin to Joe Rogan. And then we all got, it right? I'm just a country boy from Ohio. But I kind of think it probably came from a lab. I asked Dr. Burks a question three months ago in a hearing. I said Dr. Burks, when the Biden administration told us that the vaccinated couldn't get it, were they guessing or lying? Interesting. She paused and said, Well, Congressman, I like to think they hoped. I said, so it was a guess, a lie, or a hope. I'm not against the vaccine. I'm just saying that we're big boys and girls, we can handle the truth. Give us the facts. We are committed to doing the investigations that need to be done. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA): On our very first bill we're going to repeal 87,000 IRS agents. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA): We believe in fairness. We should ensure women only compete in women's sports. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA): We will have oversight hearings on what happened. Who was responsible for opening up America's southern border? How many have come in? How many are on the terrorist watch list that we know of, and when will we start doing something about it? In our commitment to America, we talk about securing America's border and holding them accountable. We will give Secretary Mayorkas a reserved parking spot, he will be testifying so much about this. So that's the kind of oversight we're going to be doing. U.S. House Session February 5, 2014 “Little fish” montage featuring Former Rep. Doc Hastings (R-WA), Former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), and Rep.
