The document discusses direct-to-consumer (D2C) distribution in the financial services industry. It notes that consumers are becoming more empowered and are demanding more control over their financial decisions. Successful D2C models will focus on the user, operate at scale to keep costs low, utilize modern technology and data to provide a seamless user experience, and gain traffic through network effects. Social and crowdsourced features may also be important to build trust and showcase what similar customers are doing.
This document summarizes a presentation given at the 1st Workshop on Scientific Computing in Health Applications. The presentation discusses healthcare information models and applications, including the challenges with current healthcare systems and a proposed new approach using multi-level modeling. It also introduces OSHIP, an open source healthcare information platform implemented in Python that uses multi-level modeling and provides a development environment for various healthcare applications.
This document provides an overview of various technology integration tools that could be used for science instruction, including digital storytelling software and web 2.0 tools. It discusses tools like Comic Life for creating graphic novels, Adobe Premiere Elements for video editing, and MindView for mind mapping. Google Docs is presented as a file sharing tool. The power of digital storytelling for developing creativity and depth of thought is explored. Various resources for digital storytelling projects, images, video and sound are provided.
The UN-REDD Programme supports countries in developing national REDD+ strategies and implementing readiness activities. It has established social and environmental principles and criteria to ensure REDD+ benefits and safeguards risks. It is also developing participatory governance assessment approaches and guidelines on stakeholder engagement and free, prior, and informed consent. The tools are being piloted and implemented in partner countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, and Ecuador to help operationalize safeguards at the national level.
REDD+ is a mechanism to incentivize developing countries to protect and better manage their forests. It aims to make standing forests more valuable than cleared forests by creating a financial value for the carbon stored in trees. Developed countries would pay developing countries carbon offsets for maintaining their forest carbon stocks. REDD+ was established in 2005 within the UNFCCC to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. It pursues plans and programs to identify drivers of forest loss, encourage sustainable forest management, and enhance carbon stocks. REDD+ investment can help transition economies toward green development by valuing ecosystem services provided by forests. Implementation of REDD+ involves designing national plans, economic and political factors, and assessing impacts on forests and

Indian Premier League (IPL) ---2024.pptxrathinikunj60
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most prominent and lucrative Twenty20 (T20) cricket leagues in the world. Since its inception in 2008, the IPL has revolutionized the landscape of cricket by blending sports, entertainment, and commerce. This summary provides an overview of the IPL's history, structure, notable performances, controversies, and its impact on cricket and beyond.
History and Formation
The IPL was launched by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2008, inspired by the success of domestic T20 leagues like the English T20 Cup and the now-defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL). Lalit Modi, the then Vice-President of BCCI, played a crucial role in conceptualizing and launching the league. The inaugural season kicked off in April 2008 with eight franchises representing different cities in India.
Structure and Format
The IPL follows a franchise-based model, where teams are owned by a mix of corporations, Bollywood stars, and other high-profile individuals. The league originally started with eight teams, although the number has fluctuated over the years due to various reasons including expansions and terminations. As of the latest seasons, the IPL features ten teams.
The tournament format includes a double round-robin stage, where each team plays the others twice, followed by playoffs. The top four teams from the round-robin stage qualify for the playoffs, which consist of two qualifiers, an eliminator, and the final. This format ensures a highly competitive and engaging tournament, culminating in a grand finale to crown the champion.
Teams and Their Evolution
The founding teams of the IPL were:
Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals)
Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings)
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Mumbai Indians (MI)
Rajasthan Royals (RR)
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
Deccan Chargers (now defunct, replaced by Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Over the years, the league has seen new teams such as Pune Warriors India, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Gujarat Lions, and Rising Pune Supergiant. The most recent additions are the Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants, introduced in the 2022 season.
Iconic Players and Performances
The IPL has attracted the best talent from around the world, with numerous iconic players making significant contributions. Some of the standout performers include:
Sachin Tendulkar (MI): The "Little Master" brought his legendary status to the IPL, winning the Orange Cap (top run-scorer) in 2010.
Chris Gayle (RCB, KXIP): Known for his explosive batting, Gayle holds the record for the highest individual score in an IPL match (175*).
MS Dhoni (CSK): Dhoni's leadership has been instrumental in CSK's success, leading them to multiple titles.
AB de Villiers (RCB): Renowned for his innovative stroke play, de Villiers has been a consistent match-winner.
Virat Kohli (RCB): The highest run-scorer in IPL history, Kohli's batting prowess is unmatched.

That Belgian squad had 10 players over 30 and the maximum average age of any Euro Cup 2024 team at the competition. A group-stage exit and just one goal at the World Cup put Belgium on course for a restructure.

2. • Sixty years ago today New Zealand mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary and
Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay made the first confirmed ascent of the
world's tallest peak which reaches 29,029 feet. Since then thousands of
people have made the attempt, with many perishing. Just last week 80-year-
old Japanese mountaineer Yuichiro Miura became the oldest person to reach
the summit for the third time, although he said that he nearly died on the
descent and that this would be his last time. The 1953 expedition that took
Hillary and Norgay to the top ended with a stay of just 15 minutes, with
Norgay leaving chocolates in the snow and Hillary leaving a cross that was
given to him by Army Colonel John Hunt, the leader of the British expedition.
