The Agarose Gel Electrophoresis System Global Market Is Projected To Reach $4.83 Billion By 2028
New Delhi, Dec 26 (PTI) His flailing and delicate health notwithstanding, the politician in former prime minister Manmohan Singh came out sharply during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections when he accused his successor Narendra Modi of lowering the dignity of public discourse and the gravity of the office of the prime minister by giving "hateful speeches" during the poll campaign. In an appeal to voters of Punjab ahead of the seventh phase of Lok Sabha polls on June 1, Singh had asserted that only the Congress can ensure growth-oriented progressive future where democracy and Constitution will be safeguarded. The senior Congress leader had also hit out at the BJP government for imposing an "ill-conceived" Agnipath scheme of the Armed Forces, which he termed as a threat to national security. "The BJP thinks that the value of patriotism, bravery and service is only four years. This shows their fake nationalism," he had said in what is considered as his last letter to voters of Punjab. The Congress had released Singh's letter to the media on May 30 in the peak of electioneering that was written ahead of Lok Sabha polls in Punjab. Singh had said those who trained for regular recruitment were woefully betrayed by the outgoing regime. "The youth of Punjab, the son of the farmer, who dreams of serving the motherland through the Armed Forces, is now thinking twice about getting recruited only for a 4-year stint. Agniveer scheme endangers national security. Congress party has therefore promised to abolish the Agniveer scheme," he had said. Mounting an attack on Modi, Singh had said, "I have been keenly following the political discourse during this election campaign. Modi ji has indulged in the most vicious form of hate speeches, which are purely divisive in nature. Modi ji is the first prime minister to lower the dignity of public discourse, and thereby the gravity of the office of the prime minister. "No prime minister in the past has uttered such hateful, unparliamentary and coarse terms, meant to target either a specific section of the society or the opposition. He has also attributed some false statements to me. I have never in my life singled out one community from the other. That is the sole copyright of the BJP," the former prime minister had said. "People of India are seeing through all of this. This narrative of dehumanization has now reached its peak. It is now our duty to save our beloved nation from these forces of discord," Singh had said. He had appealed to the voters to give love, peace, fraternity and harmony a chance in India and urged the Punjab voters to vote for development and inclusive progress. "I appeal to all the young minds to exercise caution and vote for a brighter future. Only Congress can ensure a growth-oriented progressive future, where democracy and the Constitution shall be safeguarded," Singh had said. Modi had accused Singh of saying that Muslims have the first right on the country's resources. Singh had said people of India are seeing through all of this. "This narrative of dehumanisation has now reached its peak. It is now our duty to save our beloved nation from these forces of discord," he had said in the letter. The former prime minister had noted that India is standing at a crucial juncture and in the last phase of voting, "we have one final chance to ensure that democracy and our Constitution is protected from the repeated assaults of a despotic regime, trying to unleash dictatorship in India." Lauding Punjabis as warriors, he had said they are known for their spirit of sacrifice and indomitable courage and innate belief in the democratic ethos of inclusiveness, harmony, amity and brotherhood can protect our great nation. "In the past ten years, the BJP government has left no stone unturned in castigating Punjab, Punjabis and Punjabiyat. 750 farmers, mostly belonging to Punjab, were martyred while incessantly waiting at Delhi borders, for months together. "As if the lathis and the rubber bullets were not enough, none less than the Prime Minister verbally assaulted our farmers by calling them 'Andolanjeevis' and 'Parjeevi' (Parasites) on the floor of the Parliament. Their only demand was the withdrawal of the three farm laws imposed on them without consulting them," he had said. "Unprecedented unemployment and unbridled inflation have greatly widened inequality, which is now at a 100-year high. While the Congress-UPA, despite challenges, increased the purchasing power of our people, the misrule of the BJP Government has resulted in depletion of household savings to a historic 47-year low," he had added.

GENEVA (AP) — World Cup sponsor Bank of America teamed with FIFA for a second time Tuesday, signing for the Club World Cup that still has no broadcast deals just over six months before games start. Bank of America became FIFA’s first global banking partner in August and sealed a separate deal for a second event also being played in the United States, two days before the group-stage draw in Miami for the revamped 32-team club event . It features recent European champions Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea. “FIFA is going to take America by storm and we’re going to be right at their side,” the bank’s head of marketing, David Tyrie, said in a telephone interview Tuesday. Bank of America joins 2026 World Cup sponsors Hisense and Budweiser brewer AB InBev in separately also backing the club event, and more deals are expected after Saudi Arabia is confirmed next week as the 2034 World Cup host. While games at the next World Cup, co-hosted with Canada and Mexico, will be watched by hundreds of millions globally mostly on free-to-air public networks, the Club World Cup broadcast picture is unclear. FIFA has promised hundreds of millions of dollars in prize money for the 32 clubs to share but is yet to announce any broadcast deals for the month-long tournament. It is expected to land on a streaming service. “You have to think about how you are going to connect with these fans,” Tyrie told the Associated Press from Boston. “TV is one, sure, social media is a big avenue. “The smart marketing capabilities are able to say ‘Hey, we need to tilt this one a little bit more away from TV-type marketing into social-type marketing.’ We have got a pretty decent strategy that we’re putting in place to do activation.” Engaging Bank of America’s customers and 250,000 employees are key to that strategy, Tyrie said. “It’s going to be for our clients, and entertainment, it’s going to be for our employees in creating excitement. All of the above.” The Club World Cup will be played in 12 stadiums across 11 cities, including Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C, and Lumen Field where the hometown Seattle Sounders play three group-stage games. European powers Madrid, Man City and Bayern Munich lead a 12-strong European challenge. Teams qualified by winning continental titles or posting consistently good results across four years of those competitions. The exception is Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, who FIFA gave the entry reserved for a host nation team in October based on regular season record without waiting for the MLS Cup final. LA Galaxy hosts New York Red Bulls playing for that national title Saturday. Messi’s team opens the FIFA tournament June 15 in the Miami Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium and will play its three group games in Florida. “The more brand players you bring in, the bigger the following you have got,” Tyrie acknowledged, though adding Messi being involved was “not a make or break for the event.” The Club World Cup final is July 13 at Met Life Stadium near New York, which also will host the World Cup final one year later.

Running back Jace Clarizio flipped his commitment from his local team, Michigan State, to Alabama. The decision, announced by Clarizio on social media Tuesday, comes after the East Lansing (Mich.) High standout visited head coach Kalen DeBoer's Crimson Tide on Nov. 16. "Great program," Clarizio told On3. "Playing on the biggest level. ... All the people and coaches I met and interacted with were all great people. The atmosphere was crazy." The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder is ranked as the No. 33 running back by On3 and tabbed No. 35 in their industry ranking. In May, he had verbally committed to the Spartans, where his father, Craig Johnson, was a running back and defensive back who was a member of the 1987 Rose Bowl-winning squad under coach George Perles. --Field Level MediaThe driver of the car failed to remain at the scene and has yet to come forward.

Bank of America signs again with FIFA for US-hosted Club World Cup that still has no TV dealsFans will be able to check back into “ White Lotus ” in February, according to Warner Bros. Discovery global streaming chief JB Perrette. The exec revealed the news Tuesday during a tech and media conference hosted by Wells Fargo, along with HBO ‘s planned spring 2025 premiere for “The Last of Us” Season 2, a late 2025 launch for “Game of Thrones” prequel “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” and an anticipated 2026 debut for “ Euphoria ” Season 3. (While Perrette said “Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” would be coming in the summer, Variety has learned it’s more likely going to be a fourth-quarter title.) Additionally, Perrette indicated that HBO’s upcoming “Harry Potter” TV series, which was previously targeting a 2026 launch and is currently in the casting stage for its new Harry, Ron and Hermione, will instead come in 2027: “As you look at ’26 and into ’27, you begin a 10-year journey on the ‘Harry Potter’ series, which we’re super excited about. And I’d argue, may be the biggest event by the time we get to that series.” Perrette, the president and CEO of global streaming and games at Warner Bros. Discovery, said that Max will begin cracking down on password sharing in earnest this month with “some very early, gentle messaging.” “This is an art and a science of trying to figure out who is actually sharing versus who may be actually at their vacation home or on a business trip, and so it’s an art and a science,” Perrette said. “We will offer a way to essentially add a member, starting in the first quarter. We will then start gradually as we get the data and start figuring out, with some explicit and implicit signals, how good we are at detecting. And then as we go through ’25, you’re going to see the filters get tighter and tighter.” Max is currently priced at $16.99 for its ad-free tier ($9.99 with ads, and $20.99 for the “ultimate” ad-free version), which Perrette says will increase in the future, though he did not give a timeline for the next bump or how much it would be: “Obviously, we continue to be a driver of price. Naturally, with Max and with HBO as a content category and a brand, we want to be at the premium end of the pricing. And so we want to continue to push price as we go as well.”
The Washington Commanders put kicker Austin Seibert on injured reserve Tuesday, just over 48 hours since he missed an extra point that would have tied the score with 21 seconds left against Dallas. Seibert also missed a field-goal attempt and another extra point in the loss to the Cowboys. He missed the previous two games with a right hip injury but said afterward he was fine and made the decision to play. The Commanders filled that roster spot by signing running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. off their practice squad. Austin Ekeler had a concussion and Brian Robinson Jr. sprained an ankle Sunday.

Bank of America signs again with FIFA for US-hosted Club World Cup that still has no TV dealsAllyson Faehl has had cancer three times. She had surgery earlier this year to remove a segment of her lung after doctors discovered a cancerous nodule. She is now in good health and chalks it up to more than luck. "There's a reason why I'm still here," said Faehl, who believes everyone is here "to make a difference." Faehl, 77, was the project manager for Christ Lutheran Church's application to host Santa Fe's first Pallet shelter village for the homeless — a community of small, individual housing units — as part of a city initiative. The village — initially known as a "safe outdoor space" but now called a "micro community" — opened in April through a partnership between Christ Lutheran, the city and The Life Link, which provides case management services to residents. The city is now taking steps to create more micro communities in Santa Fe. Because of Faehl's efforts on the project, she has been named one of The New Mexican's 10 Who Made a Difference for 2024. Faehl was nominated by Christ Lutheran's the Rev. Joene Herr, who said she was crucial to the pilot project's success. “Without her, the safe outdoor space would not have happened," Herr said. Herr learned about the opportunity for a Pallet shelter village at a December 2022 community forum, and Faehl was one of the first people she reached out to about the possibility of Christ Lutheran becoming a host site. Faehl, who had a long-standing dream to build a tiny home community on church property, jumped at the opportunity. "I think that as human beings, we have a responsibility to care for each other," Faehl said. One of five siblings, she grew up in rural Ohio and attended college at Capital University in Columbus. She and her husband, Rickey J. Faehl, moved to Santa Fe in 1977, when he got a job as a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. After receiving a master's degree in public policy from the University of New Mexico, Faehl had a long career working as a project manager for the state in various agencies, including the Department of Finance and Administration, the General Services Department and the former Human Services Department. “I made a conscious decision that I wanted to work in the social services area because social justice is one of my drivers, and that’s one of the reasons that I'm a member of Christ Lutheran Church," said Faehl, who has been a parishioner at the church for about 40 years. Faehl's government roles were mostly in administrative positions. She said she learned a valuable lesson from working in bureaucracy: "Persistence pays off." That served her in good stead while working on the application for the Pallet shelter village, which involved wading through a lot of red tape. Faehl "is not easily put off by having to jump through many hoops," said church member Susan Rathjen. Others who know Faehl echoed that sentiment. "She's a very driven, very determined person," Faehl's younger brother, Tom Barcroft, said. "She sets her mind on something, and she will see that it gets done." Bancroft, a city councilor in Coshocton, Ohio, said he thought the award was "very well-deserved." He said he and Faehl's commitment to public service was instilled at an early age by their parents, who had a strong work ethic and were heavily involved in their rural community. Their father was on the local school board for several years and active in the Lutheran church they attended, and their mother mentored a developmentally disabled young woman through a local child welfare organization. "We just kind of followed along," Bancroft said. Rathjen has known Faehl for more than 30 years and said she's "amazed at her energy and her devotion to any cause she takes up." Along with volunteering at Christ Lutheran, where she is president of the church council, Faehl spent a number of years as a literacy volunteer at Santa Fe Community College, a program coordinated by Rathjen. She said Faehl was friendly and engaging when working with the students as a tutor and helped draw some of them out of their shell. "She always tries to put herself in someone else’s shoes to get a feel for what they are experiencing," Rathjen said. Herr said Faehl is one of the first people to greet visitors at church and has a genuine care for others. That extended to her work on the Pallet shelter village, where Herr said Faehl brought coffee to the architects and made sure the contractors and subcontractors were publicly thanked at a grand opening. "She knows that the most important thing is to get to know people, to hear their stories, and to work face to face," Herr said. "And that really made all the difference." Faehl said she was "shocked" when she learned she was selected as one of this year's 10 Who Made a Difference recipients. She was quick to emphasize the project was a team effort involving the work of dozens of people. Others involved, however, said she is fully deserving of the accolade. "She'll go, 'No, it wasn't my project' — but yeah, it was," Herr said. The pastor added, "Part of making it her project is the number of people she was able to bring along."
