Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) Enhances Winter Preparedness with Comprehensive Snow and Ice Response Plan
The Indian Railways is gearing up to configure Kavach 4.0 - an advanced automatic train protection system - across its key routes. Kavach 4.0 is a technology-driven solution developed by the Indian Railways to prevent accidents and ensure the smooth operation of trains by providing an additional layer of safety and control. The upgraded version of the Kavach, commonly referred to as Kavach 4.0, will be installed in all the locomotives which are currently operating the lower version of the Kavach. This updated version will be implemented by the Northeast Frontier Railway from Malda Town in West Bengal to Assam's Dibrugarh, spanning a length of approximately 1966 RKM. This step by the Indian Railways across its key routes is a broader initiative to modernize its infrastructure and enhance safety standards. By leveraging cutting-edge technology such as Kavach 4.0, the connectivity system will ensure smoother operations, minimizing human error and most importantly preventing accidents. The Kavach 4.0 system is built upon several critical technological components, including Station Kavach, which receives information from Loco Kavach and signalling systems to guide the locomotive and RFID tags, which are installed along the tracks at regular intervals and signal point to monitor the train’s location and direction. It is worth mentioning that Indian Railways has been taking significant measures of late to prevent train accidents. The rolling out of Kavach 4.0 shows the Indian Railway's commitment of making rail travel safer for passengers. This move is part of a larger plan to strengthen the railway network and boost safety measures across the length and breadth of the country.

TRB Rajaa CHENNAI: The state govt is in negotiations with industries to bring more investments and companies to south Tamil Nadu , industries minister TRB Rajaa said on Saturday. Speaking to reporters after the 80th-year celebrations of Alagappa College of Technology in Anna University here, the minister said, “It will ensure distributed growth, and people can get jobs near their areas, and companies can also get cheap labour.” Rajaa said Sriperumbudur is attracting many industries. “The chief minister wants distributed growth across the state. Those who want to establish industries in A category districts will receive fewer incentives. Those who want to establish industries in B and C category districts will receive more incentives. There will be big announcements in the coming days,” he added. Earlier, speaking at the function, Rajaa said studying in institutions like AC Tech offers students a springboard to start their careers. “Institutions should focus on research and product development. There is a fear of failure among students and scholars. We need to give them a net in case they fail. If we offer that, Tamil Nadu will be a global leader in research and development,” he added. Highlighting the contributions of Tamil Nadu, he said 43% of women working in organised sectors in the country are from the state. “Up to 40% of auto parts that are manufactured in India are manufactured in Tamil Nadu. It is also an electronic superpower contributing 35% of exports in electronics,” Rajaa added. Highlighting the achievements of Alagappa College of Technology, department of science and technology former secretary T Ramasami said AC Tech is now contemplating establishing a centre for sustainability science. He urged the state govt to name it after M S Swaminathan. Alumni associations from different batches donated endowments to establish scholarships. Higher education secretary K Gopal, Alagappa College of Technology dean S Meenakshisundaram and others spoke at the event.Musk causes uproar for backing Germany's far-right party ahead of key elections
If you’re a Hallmarkie, you know that Andrew Walker is one of the faces of the channel. And what a face it is. It’s like The CW used an AI lab to create a leading man made of the best parts of Glen Powell , Ryan Eggold , and a young Clint Eastwood . It’s insulting really, how he just walks around with that thing out in the open, making the rest of us normies look like something out of Middle Earth. Thankfully, Walker is one of the authentically good ones. Humble, engaging, totally Canadian, and a dang workhorse. The Montreal-born actor-producer has shot six movies for Hallmark this year, including Countdown to Christmas’s Jingle Bell Run and Three Wiser Men and a Boy ! On top of that, he’s also a husband, father of two sons, and an entrepreneur, having co-founded the SkinMason skincare line ... which is clearly working, since there are zero signs of fatigue on his matinee-idol mug. “Obviously I use skincare on a daily basis, and when I wrap from set, I’m always washing my face off,” he explains of the inspiration behind SkinMason. “I have used very abrasive products that have given me skin [issues], I’ve broken out, I’ve had rashes. I used to have these little alcohol wipes to take the rest of my makeup off.” During a dinner with his friend Dr. Hussein Kanji, a heart and lung surgeon who’s “always working with different types of products for [organ] detoxification and antioxidants,” the two agreed to partner on a product line. SkinMason “He had an idea for a very simple yet effective skincare brand, ideally targeted to men to start with, because the women’s space is so massive...but women and men can use the same skincare,” Walker continues. “And I said I’d love to venture into this, first off, because my wife [Cassandra] always scolded me for using way too much of her expensive skincare products—I don’t know what to use! It’s like, there’s so many products out there.” Two years later, Walker and Kanji had the first two core products of the line, exfoliating wipes and a serum, which were soon followed by their new moisturizer. “We don’t even call it a moisturizer. It’s a bioactive cream.” Noting that Jean Carruthers, the co-innovator of Botox, has endorsed all of their products, Walker explains that their formula boasts retinoid, Vitamins C, and phospholipids that rebuild collagen. The SkinMason site is having a 40 percent off Black Friday sale and you can order each item individually or as a set, with a VIP subscription for regular refill orders at a 10 percent discount. Better yet, he laughs, “My wife has now turned on to using my products!” Andrew Walker / Instagram Speaking of his wife, how do the Walkers plan to spend the holidays? “With family,” he immediately offers. “We moved up to Vancouver for a year and it’s been amazing. It’s been quiet because we live next to a forest. So the holidays this year are just going to be family and trying to take a moment to put away the phones, put away technology, and just focus my time on my kids and my wife and each other.” Now that is a good look for everyone.
