Amazon's new USPS deal will see postal deliveries cut by 20 percent

Earlier this year, Amazon threatened to cut US Postal Service deliveries by as much as two thirds . Now, the parties have reached tentative a deal that will see USPS deliveries reduced by 20 percent, The Wall Street Journal reported. While not as drastic as first menaced, the reduced volume will still deal a financial blow to the USPS. Were pleased to have reached a new agreement with USPS that furthers our longstanding partnership and will let us continue supporting our customers and communities together, an Amazon spokesperson told the WSJ . Amazon is the USPS's largest customer, accounting for 15 percent of its volume and $6 billion in revenue. A two-thirds cut would have been a disaster for the USPS, but a 20 percent reduction could result in more than $1 billion in lost revenue nonetheless. Amazon would have needed to scramble as well, as it relies heavily on the post office for rural and last-mile deliveries. Amazon's contract with the USPS was set to expire in September 2026, and in October Amazon said it wanted to strike a deal by December 2025. However, the USPS abruptly pulled out of negotiations, according to Amazon, and implemented a new bidding process for last-mile deliveries. Our goal was to increase our volumes with USPS, not reduce them until USPS abruptly walked away at the eleventh hour in December, Amazon said at the time. Amazon was reportedly considering expanding its own delivery network if the USPS deal fell through, though the company may have started those rumors itself to prod negotiations. The Postal Service decided to re-engage with Amazon after bids from several Amazon rivals fell short of its volume and revenue expectations, according to the WSJ 's sources. The new agreement is still subject to approval by the federal Postal Regulatory Commission.

IFL 2025-26: Chanmari Edge Real Kashmir In Srinagar

Sayad Bin Abdul Kadir: Goals from Marlon Rangel and Lalruatsanga in either half ensured Chanmari FC edged past Real Kashmir FC 2-1 in a crucial Indian Football League (IFL) 2025-26 at the TRC Stadium in Srinagar on Monday. Marius Bedzigui scored for the home side to halve the deficit, but Chanmari FC held on to the lead to move to seventh in the table with eight points, while Real Kashmir remained at the bottom of the table with two points from seven matches. Marlon Rangel was adjudged Player of the Match. Real Kashmir head coach Ishfaq Ahmed made three changes for the crucial fixture, bringing in Sayad Bin Abdul Kadir in goal in place of Furkan Ahmad Dar, Shahid Nazir into midfield for Ahteeb Ahmad Dar, and handing Shedrack Charles a start in place of Habib Fofana. Meanwhile, Chanmari FC head coach Dipankur Sharma also made three changes for his second game in charge, with Lalruatsanga, F. Malsawmtluanga, and Joel Lalramengmawia coming into the starting XI in place of Kyle Degelman, Suanngaihmuana, and Emmanuel Badu. The home side dominated large spells of the first half, making good use of the windy conditions that made it difficult for midfielders to play precise forward passes. Real Kashmirs overseas signings impressed alongside captain Mohammad Inam, as they looked the more likely side to score. At the other end, Chanmari relied on their pace to threaten on the counter. The Snow Leopards struck the woodwork twice in the first half. Mohammad Inam hit the near post after being set up by Junior Traore, and later in the half, Marius Bedzigui himself saw his effort from the edge of the box crash against the crossbar following a well-worked corner. Chanmari took the lead against the run of play just before half-time from a set-piece. P. Christopher Kamei floated a chipped delivery into the box, and Real Kashmir goalkeeper Sayad Bin misjudged its flight, completely missing the ball and leaving the goal exposed. Marlon Angel had the simplest of tasks, guiding it into the net to give the visitors the lead, which they took into the break. The visitors doubled their advantage just after the hour mark, capitalising on poor set-piece defending from Real Kashmir. Christopher Kamei was once again the provider, as his corner was expertly side-footed into the net by Lalruatsanga, who got ahead of his marker. The Snow Leopards pulled one back just two minutes later. Shedrack Charles was brought down on the edge of the box, earning a free-kick in a dangerous position. Marius stepped up and curled a superb effort over the five-man wall and into the net, leaving the goalkeeper rooted to the spot. The visitors doubled their advantage just after the hour mark, capitalising on poor set-piece defending from Real Kashmir. Christopher Kamei was once again the provider, as his corner was expertly side-footed into the net by Lalruatsanga, who got ahead of his marker. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Chanmari looked in control for the rest of the match, even though the home side were pushing for an equaliser, but could not create any clear-cut chances or trouble the defence.

NASA's Artemis II mission has left Earth's orbit

The Integrity, the name of the Orion capsule carrying Artemis II astronauts on a trip around the moon, has left Earths orbit . NASA has announced that it has successfully completed a key burn of Orions main engine. That six-minute firing of the engine provided approximately 6,000 pounds of thrust, which gave the spacecraft the acceleration it needed to set it on its path to the moon. Today, for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972, humans have departed Earth orbit, said Dr. Lori Glaze from NASA Headquarters in Washington. Orion is operating with crew for the first time in space, and we are gathering critical data, and learning from each step. Commander Reid Wiseman called seeing the entire globe from pole to pole after leaving Earths orbit a spectacular moment. Artemis II launched on April 1 at 6:35PM Eastern time after a couple of delays caused by a hydrogen leak and then a helium issue . Its the first crewed flight of the Artemis program and the first time humanity has ventured beyond Low Earth Orbit after the Apollo program shut down. Within a few hours after its launch, the astronauts reported an issue with their onboard toilet, which crew member Christina Koch eventually fixed. Commander Wiseman then reported to mission control that they were having problems with Microsoft Outlook on the Surface Pro device they were using. But they were ultimately manageable setbacks that wouldnt prevent the crew from achieving the missions goal. The mission is taking NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, as well as Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, on a 10-day trip around the moon. On April 6, the spacecraft will pass by the far side of the moon that humans have never directly seen before, and the crew will take photographs, as well as provide their own observations of the lunar surface.

I Want To Prove That Winning IPL Trophy Last Season Was Not A One-off, Says RCB Wicketkeeper Jitesh

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma said last seasons title has only strengthened the teams hunger to build something lasting at the franchise. Jitesh continues to be an integral part of the RCB. Not just with the bat has he been impressive in the last season, but his heroics with the gloves have been equally brilliant. Jitesh continues to be an integral part of the RCB. Not just with the bat has he been impressive in the last season, but his heroics with the gloves have been equally brilliant. This is not a one-year thing. We are here to dominate. I want to prove that what happened last season was not a one-off. Winning the first trophy for RCB was a magical feeling. The biggest satisfaction was knowing that I had contributed to it. That is a moment I will always be proud of, Jitesh said on the RCB Podcast. On his crucial 24 off 10 in the 2025 final, Jitesh said his focus was on making a decisive impact. My only thought in the final was to make a difference. I did not want to just survive the situation; I wanted to shift the game. The last over of the final felt like the longest six balls of my life. We wanted that moment so badly, he said. On the loss of his father, Jitesh said it is something he continues to carry with him. When you lose your father, that void never really goes away. I am not trying to forget it. I want to carry that emotion with me and keep moving forward. He also spoke about what it meant that his father had seen him represent India and lift the trophy for RCB. I am proud that my father saw me wear the India jersey and saw me lift the trophy for RCB. That means everything to me. On returning to the RCB setup after a difficult phase, Jitesh said the environment helped him reset. When I walked back into Chinnaswamy and saw the red and blue again, I felt reborn. Being back in that environment made me feel like myself again. He also credited Dinesh Karthik for helping shape his growth over the past year. A lot of the credit for my growth goes to DK 'anna'. He helped me understand my game better, use my strengths properly and improve mentally. DK asked me to take a break, put the bat away for a while and spend time with my family and friends. That helped me reset. Speaking about his batting approach, Jitesh said he has simplified everything to one core thought. For me, it comes down to one thing: watch the ball. If you are present and watching the ball well, everything else takes care of itself. Speaking about his role as a cricketer, Jitesh said he now sees himself in broader terms. I do not see myself only as a wicketkeeper now. I see myself as a finisher and a fielder as well. My job is to find a way into the team, whatever role that requires. On missing out on India selection, he said the larger ambition remains unchanged. Playing for India is still the ultimate goal. I felt I did my part, so I have no regrets. Now it is about staying ready and finding the next opportunity. On missing out on India selection, he said the larger ambition remains unchanged. Also Read: Live Cricket Score With RCB entering the new season as defending champions, Jitesh said he is ready for the challenge ahead. Teams will come harder at us this season, and that excites me.

Bajaj Finance Extends Personal Loan Tenure up to 108 Months, Easing Repayment Burden

Bajaj Finance has enhanced its personal loan offering by introducing an extended repayment tenure of up to 108 months (9 years). This move is designed to give customers greater flexibility in managing their finances. With longer tenures, borrowers can opt for lower monthly instalments that align better with their budget.   Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan personal loan from Bajaj Finance is designed to help people manage both planned and urgent expenses. Whether it is a medical emergency, a family wedding, travel plans, or home repairs, customers can access funds quickly without pledging any collateral. The company continues to focus on providing reliable financial support through simple processes. Flexible loan amount and extended repayment tenure  The newly introduced 108-month repayment tenure is a key enhancement in the Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan. The repayment tenure has been extended from 96 months (8 years) to 108 months (9 years), giving customers more time to repay their loan and helping reduce the monthly EMI burden. This can be especially useful for borrowers who want to manage large expenses without putting pressure on their monthly cash flow. By offering a longer repayment window, Bajaj Finance allows customers to choose a tenure that fits their financial comfort. Those who prefer smaller instalments over a longer period now have more control over how they plan their repayment journey. At the same time, customers who wish to repay faster and potentially reduce their overall interest cost may continue to choose shorter tenures based on their needs, within the range of 12 months to 108 months. Bajaj Finance offers a wide range of loan amounts to meet different financial needs. Customers can choose a loan amount starting from Rs. 40,000 up to Rs. 55 lakh. This flexibility allows individuals to borrow only what they need. Quick approval and fast disbursal Speed is an important factor when dealing with financial needs. Bajaj Finance focuses on providing quick approval for eligible applicants. The application process is simple and can often be completed online. Once approved, funds are typically disbursed within 24 hours*. This quick access to money can be helpful during emergencies or urgent situations. Customers do not have to wait for long processing times or complicated paperwork. A fast and efficient process ensures that borrowers can focus on solving their financial needs without unnecessary delays.   Competitive interest rates Bajaj Finance offers competitive interest rates on personal loans, helping customers manage borrowing costs effectively. Customers are informed about the applicable personal loan interest rate before they apply. This helps them plan their monthly budget with confidence. The interest rate typically ranges from 10% to 30% per annum, depending on factors such as income, repayment history, and credit profile. Competitive interest rate allows customers to choose a loan structure that fits their financial goals while keeping repayments comfortable over the selected tenure. Collateral-free loan with minimal documentation Another advantage of choosing a personal loan from Bajaj Finance is that it is a collateral-free loan. Customers do not need to provide property, gold, or any other asset as security. This reduces stress and makes the borrowing process more accessible. The documentation requirements are also simple. In most cases, customers need to submit basic identity, address, and income details. Minimal paperwork helps speed up approval and makes the process convenient for working professionals, self-employed individuals, and small business owners. This straightforward approach allows borrowers to apply with confidence and receive funds without complicated formalities. Real-life use cases for a personal loan A personal loan can support many types of financial needs. Some common situations where customers use these funds include:   Medical emergencies : Covering hospital bills, treatment costs, or urgent care expenses Travel plans : Funding family holidays, pilgrimage trips, or international travel Weddings : Managing venue bookings, decorations, and other celebration expenses Education : Paying tuition fees, buying study materials, or enrolling in professional courses Home improvement : Repairing furniture, renovating rooms, or upgrading household appliances These real-life uses show how a personal loan can provide financial support during important life events. Having access to funds at the right time can reduce stress and help families focus on their priorities. While borrowing can be helpful, responsible financial planning is equally important. Bajaj Finance encourages customers to assess their income and expenses before applying for a personal loan. Choosing the right loan amount and tenure can prevent financial pressure in the future. Simple tools such as EMI calculators and repayment schedules can help borrowers understand their commitments clearly before taking a loan.  The introduction of extending repayment tenure up to 108 months highlights Bajaj Finance’s continued focus on customer convenience and responsible lending. With flexible loan amounts, minimal paperwork, and fast disbursal, the company remains committed to providing reliable financial solutions that support customers at every stage of life. Customers looking for funds for planned or urgent expenses can explore a personal loan from Bajaj Finance and benefit from a repayment structure designed for greater financial comfort.   Terms and conditions apply* Bajaj Finance Ltd.
