Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) Veteran actress Nagma has shared her perspective on the ongoing discussion surrounding actor Sanjay Dutts recent remarks about not knowing Marathi despite having spent several years in Maharashtra. Reflecting on her own experience, she said she learned Marathi in school and also spoke the language with people around her. The Suhaag actress explained that learning or speaking a particular language depends on an individuals circumstances and what they feel is necessary. Nagma told IANS, When we were in school, a language was added to the curriculum. That's why we had to learn Marathi while living in Maharashtra. We were taught in school. My mother is also from Maharashtra. That's why I know Marathi. My house help was also from Maharashtra, and so we used to talk to her in Marathi. I have also made a Marathi film. I don't think we should say anything on freedom of speech. Her remarks come after Sanjay Dutt found himself at the centre of a controversy following his refusal to speak in Marathi at a recent Dahi Handi event in Thane. Dutt, who was a guest at the event organized by the Shiv Sena, began addressing the gathering in Hindi. When Shiv Sena leader Pratap Sarnaik requested him to speak in Marathi, the actor reportedly laughed and declined, saying, I spent 6 years in Yerwada Jail, but still I could not learn Marathi. The actors comment request to speak Marathi subsequently sparked discussion on social media and among political circles.

UNEP says investing in climate action, air quality to boost economic prosperity
Digital Desk | Nairobi, Sep 7 (IANS) Investments in climate action and air pollution control are key to driving economic prosperity and improving ecosystem and human health, according to a report released by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, on Monday. The report, titled Hidden Assets: The economic and health case for climate and clean air action, was released on the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, which is observed annually on September 7. Compiled by UNEP and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, the report is the first comprehensive global economic assessment of integrated climate and clean-air action, Xinhua News Agency reported. The study demonstrates a significant return on investment, showing that every 1 US dollar allocated toward climate and air pollution solutions generates approximately 15 dollars in economic returns, alongside substantial reductions in pollution-linked mortality and medical expenses. UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen underscored that carbon neutrality and air quality are foundational to global development, public health, energy and food security, and environmental stability. Andersen emphasised that strong leadership from both the public and financial sectors, coupled with effective policy frameworks and technological innovation, is critical to curbing climate-warming emissions and improving global air quality. To operationalise these goals, the report recommends 25 specific interventions that span six sectors: energy and fossil fuel systems, industry, transport, agriculture and food systems, residential cooking and heating, and waste management. It combines both long-term decarbonisation measures and measures that target super pollutants such as methane, black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons. Should the 25 solutions be implemented, annual economic benefits would reach around 2.8 per cent of global GDP by 2035, 4.5 per cent by 2050 and 11.4 per cent by 2100. Market returns exceed implementation costs within 10 years, according to the report. In addition, the 25 measures could avoid an estimated 0.34 degrees Celsius of global warming by 2050 and 1.4 degrees Celsius by 2100, the report says. The 25 measures will also avert 144 million air pollution-related premature deaths alongside millions of cases of chronic disease by 2050, according to the report.

Gold dips 3 pc on weekly basis over hopes of US Fed rate hike
New Delhi, Sep 5 (IANS) Gold prices dipped nearly 3 per cent on a weekly basis due to repricing of US monetary policy and a surge in crude oil raising inflation concerns. On Friday, MCX gold futures (October) inched up 0.03 per cent while MCX silver futures (September) shed 0.07 per cent. The yellow metal stood at Rs 1,52,815, while the white metal stood at Rs 2,37,500. The price of 10 grams of 24-carat gold was at Rs 1,54,884 on Friday down from Rs 1,59,578 seen last Friday, according to data published by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA). Precious metals touched a threemonth high, a midweek rebound after sharp selloff and a final pullback on Friday as markets reacted to a mix of geopolitical tensions, shifting Federal Reserve expectations and strongerthanexpected US labour data. A blockbuster August jobs report on Friday reversed much of the dovish shift from the US Federal Reserve in a single session, a market participant said. Bullion initially found support from geopolitical uncertainty and weakness in the US dollar. However, the escalation in the US-Iran conflict, including Iran's retaliatory attack on Kuwait following renewed US strikes on Iranian rocket launchers near the Strait of Hormuz surged crude oil prices adversely affecting gold. The heightened inflation concerns due to crude oil price rally pushed expectations of a September Federal Reserve rate hike sharply higher. Rising Treasury yields and a stronger dollar consequently outweighed safe-haven demand, leading to a sharp correction in precious metals. The market mood shifted again during the middle of the week after weaker-than-expected US labour-market data and dovish Federal Reserve commentary revived expectations of a less aggressive monetary-policy stance. However, the rebound was short-lived after Friday's August US employment report significantly exceeded expectations. The stronger employment data pushed Treasury yields and the US dollar sharply higher, reversing much of the earlier dovish sentiment, analysts said. Immediate resistance is placed at $4,500$4,530 zone for Comex Gold, while support lies at $4,330$4,360 zone, analysts said. For MCX gold, immediate resistance is placed at Rs 1,56,500Rs 1,57,000 zone, while the support lies at Rs 1,51,500Rs 1,52,000, they added.

Mahanagar Gas hikes CNG rates by 2 per kg, domestic PNG by 1/SCM
Mahanagar Gas on Monday announced a hike in CNG prices by Rs 2 per kg and domestic piped natural gas (PNG) by Rs 1 per standard cubic meter (SCM) citing a rise in input costs due to the Middle East tensions. The new price of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) will be Rs 88 per kg in and around Mumbai, effective from midnight on September 1, an official statement said. In view of the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, which has resulted in a significant increase in input gas prices linked to international indices, MGL has announced a revision in the prices of CNG, the statement said. There is significant demand for CNG and a major portion of input gas for the CNG segment is being met through imported spot RLNG (Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas) where the prices are higher, it said. Price hike in CNG will only partially offset the rising cost of input gas and ensure continued and sustained supply of CNG to customers, MGL said.

Its a set of rollerblade wheels. For my office chair. Really! We all just sort of accept that our office chair wheels are the way they are. Those little double-wheel plastic or hard rubberized (if youre lucky) casters that swivel and scratch and make noise. They dont roll well over carpet, and theres an entire commodity industry selling ugly sheets of thick plastic to put under your office chair so they dont mess up your hard floors. It doesnt have to be that way. I dont even remember where I saw it recommended, but several years ago someone pointed me to a company that takes rollerblade wheels and puts them on office chair casters. Proper bearings, sturdier construction, and smooth polyurethane that rolls easily over carpet and doesnt scratch up your floor. The brand is The Office Oasis (there are lots of cheap knockoffs, but these are the original), and its only about $40 for a set of 5 casters in a variety of colors. Installing them is trivialoffice chair casters are designed to simply pull off and pop on without tools. I took a chance and couldnt believe the difference. My chair glided so easily that when I put it on a section of floor that was just a little bit uneven, it just started rolling on its own. Theyre whisper-quiet, too. You dont realize regular office chair wheels are noisy until you get some that arent. And now my chair doesnt need a big plastic sheet to protect my tile floor. @macworld.com The best $40 office upgrade I ever made original sound Macworld Macworld The wheels also made my office chair just a tiny bit higherabout half an inchwhich is a nice little bonus for a tall guy like me that usually has my chair extended up as high as it will go. This isnt a sponsored post (though we do earn affiliate revenue if any purchase is made leading from our site). The Office Oasis has never been in contact with anyone here at all. I have used these wheels on my office chair for several years after purchasing them myself, and I just love them. Its one of those things you use all day every day and forget how great they are until you sit in an office chair without them and instantly regret it. Spending $40 on a product that has made my life just a tiny bit better all day every day for years is a no-brainer.
