Dubuis, a florist by training, told AFP that she has devoted herself to paper cutting since childhood and now spends around six hours a day on her passion. At her home studio in Chateau d'Oex, in the Pays-d'Enhaut area where the Swiss tradition was born around 200 years ago, she showed off her craft, using scissors or a cutter to carve out intricate scenes inspired by the surrounding woods and the people she meets.

Scheduled for March 10, 2024, the 96th edition of the Academy Awards is poised to unfold at the illustrious Dolby Theatre located in Los Angeles. In cinematic terms, an international feature film is classified as a motion picture of extended duration (running for more than 40 minutes) crafted outside the borders of the United States. These films predominantly feature dialogue tracks that encompass languages other than English, with a minimum threshold of more than 50 per cent non-English content. The category further extends its scope to encompass animated as well as documentary features. To be eligible for consideration, the submitted films must have experienced theatrical releases within their respective countries during the timeframe spanning from December 1, 2022, to October 31, 2023. The Academy's stipulated deadline for these submissions is set at October 2. On December 21, a shortlist comprising 15 finalists will be announced.

Reliance ARC has submitted a writ petition against the Reserve Bank of India in the Bombay High Court opposing the Swiss challenge method during the debt sale of Vidarbha Industries Power, which has drawn interest from funds like Varde Partners-backed Aditya Birla ARC and Avenue Capital-backed Asset Reconstruction Company of India (Arcil). Vidarbha Industries Power, currently in bankruptcy and promoted by Anil Ambani, has a total debt of Rs 2,569 crore. Reliance ARC has challenged the central bank’s circular of September 24, 2021, calling it arbitrary as it confers “unwarranted and unreasonable benefit” in favour of a Prospective Transferee. The deadline for bidders to submit firm offers was August 8, but the hearing for that petition will take precedence, a bank source said. The matter could be taken up for hearing by the end of this week, another source said. In its petition, Reliance ARC has raised concerns over the Swiss Challenge Auction process, according to a lawyer source. The concern is that when an ARC makes a bid to buy a troubled asset or a non-performing asset (NPA), it automatically becomes an initial bidder and this gives the ARC the exclusive right to match any bid that comes in during the Swiss Challenge Process, the lawyer explained.
