infrastructure projects in Africa may be over, analysts say, with Beijing seeking to shield itself from risky, indebted partners on the continent as it grapples with a slowing economy at home. Beijing for years dished out billions in loans for trains, roads and bridges in Africa that saddled participating governments with debts they often struggled to pay back. But experts say it is now opting for smaller loans to fund more modest development projects.

Michelle Obama's eldest daughter, Malia, has gained notoriety ever since her father was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004. The family became well-known worldwide after Barack Obama was elected president in 2008. In 2009, Malia and her sister Sasha relocated to the White House, where they attended the esteemed Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C, as per the reports of Yahoo entertainment. Malia worked hard to maintain as much of a normal existence as she could during her early years in the White House. She took part in regular children's activities like summer camps and school functions even though she was in the spotlight. As she got older, Malia and her father were more visible in society, going to important functions like state dinners and foreign travel. She got to know notable people like Nelson Mandela and Pope Benedict XVI, and she even served as an interpreter while visiting Cuba. Time magazine recognized Malia and Sasha among the influential teens of 2014.

Tim Walz has always been focused on creating universal meal schemes for school children. It is being alleged that the taxpayers dime was instead funneled to fund the purchase of luxury vehicles and real-estate in different parts of the world under the garb of a fraudulent Minneapolis-based NGO named 'Feeding Our Future.' Republican U.S. Representative from North Carolina Virginia Foxx, chair of the committee, has sent out subpoenas to Kamala Harris' running mate and Minnesota Education Commissioner Willie Jett for what is being touted as the 'biggest COVID-related scam in the United States.

IISc) and their collaborators have designed a new supercapacitor that can be charged by shining light on it. Such supercapacitors can be used in various devices, including streetlights and self-powered electronic devices such as sensors. Capacitors are electrostatic devices that store energy as charges on two metal plates called electrodes. Supercapacitors are upgraded versions of capacitors – they exploit electrochemical phenomena to store more energy, explains Abha Misra, Professor at IAP and corresponding author of the study published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, IISc said in a statement. The electrodes of the new supercapacitor were made of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorods grown directly on Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide (FTO), which is transparent. It was synthesised by Pankaj Singh Chauhan, first author and CV Raman postdoctoral fellow in Misra’s group at IISc. Both ZnO and FTO are semiconductors with appropriately aligned energy levels, enabling superior performance of the photo-rechargeable supercapacitor. FTO, being transparent, allows light to fall on the optically active ZnO nanorods, which charges the supercapacitor. Chauhan said that two electrolytes – a liquid and a semi-solid gel – were used as the conducting medium between the electrodes, the statement added.

Canada’s dismal economic productivity is a crisis, and the Trudeau government’s “solution” of creating a new federal working group to investigate its cause, announced recently by Treasury Board President Anita Anand, is a joke. That is the view, not just of Conservative MPs and libertarian columnists, but also of an iPolitics article Anand herself posted on social media to share the news she was creating this working group.
