Manchester United have the opportunity to knock Manchester City off their perch when they travel to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday even if they will not be the main beneficiaries of a surprise Premier League win. United’s new minority owner Jim Ratcliffe laid out his plans to return the 20-time English champions to the summit when he completed his acquisition of 27% of the club’s shares this month, including re-establishing the pecking order in the city. With 15 points separating secondplaced City to sixth-placed United, that ambition might take a while to come to fruition.

sleep without taking melatonin every day.” Melatonin, a hormone produced by the human brain in response to darkness, regulates the circadian rhythm and facilitates sleep. But the melatonin, which the founder refers to above, is a lab-made supplement, contributing to India’s $308 million sleep aids market of over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals, according to Statista Market Insights. Sleep supplements are just one of the many components of a growing $585 billion global sleep economy, which includes mattress companies and meditation apps.

image generation tool Gemini because it had thrown up images of, among other things, Black vikings, Black and East Asian 1930s German soldiers, and an African-American founding father of America. As anyone familiar with the non-existence of Hindus buried in Christian cemeteries, men admitted in maternity wards of hospitals, or communists in Goldman Sachs, these images generated by Gemini have no bearing in real life. They are, in the truest sense, surreal, adj. strange, especially because of the combination of items that are never found together in reality. Quite like, say, Salvador Dali's 1944 painting, 'Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Waking', where two tigers are seen jumping out of a fish's mouth while a white elephant with incredibly long stilt-legs passes by in the background, all while a naked woman is lying back unbothered by everything happening around her. Tigers, fish, elephants and stretched-out women have yet to complain. But quite unlike Dali and other surrealists, Gemini and other LLMs, don't really think up these images themselves. They create from what they are told — prompted — by their human overlords and by dipping into their vast vats of training datasets, and then go beyond these two parameters. They're darzis, not designers. Yet.

cheese. It's the secret weapon that can transform dull, mass-produced fare into edible delights. No wonder, it is there everywhere — as a filler nestled within burgers, as a flavourful dip accompanying side dishes, as an entity lathered in a dosa... Recently, however, a cheesy kerfuffle erupted in Maharashtra after the state FDA cancelled the licence of a McDonald's outlet in Ahmednagar for using cheap vegetable oil instead of cheese in its products. A news report in this veritable paper stated that the FDA officials found that McCHEESE burgers, CHEESY nuggets, and CHEESY dips were actually — horror of horrors! — 'cheese flavoured'. The regulator alleged that the company used cheese analogues, which replicate the taste and texture of real dairy cheese, without proper disclosure on labels or display boards, misleading consumers into thinking they were eating the real thing.

Ravi Kishan by giving him Lok Sabha ticket from Gorakhpur constituency once again, a seat he has held since 2019 elections. Ravi Kishan won the crucial Gorakhpur seat, the bastion of UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, in 2019 by a margin of 3 lakh votes over Ram Bhuwal Nishad of Samajwadi Party (SP). BJP had lost that seat to SP in 2018 by-elections.

Scindia who lost the Guna seat in Madhya Pradesh back in 2019 has been granted another chance by the BJP as his name was listed in the first list of the party for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. In a significant shift from its historical loyalty, the Guna Lok Sabha seat, which has been traditionally represented by the Scindias since 1957, saw Jyotiraditya Scindia being defeated by BJP's KP Yadav in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. This loss had a profound impact on Scindia, as it marked a departure from the long-standing support of the people of Guna towards the Scindia family. Speaking on being given a chance to contest for BJP from Guna, the Minister said «It is a great privilege for me that the top leadership of @BJP4India has given me the opportunity to serve the sisters and brothers of Guna. For this trust, I heartily thank the Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, Home Minister Shri @AmitShah ji and National President Shri @JPNadda ji. I hope and believe that my God-like people of Guna will give me their blessings. I will do my best to live up to their expectations in every way. Once again Modi government!»
