DNB said it decided not to extend the deadline and closed trading on Aug. 23.Telekom Malaysia said in a separate filing that it needed more time to hold an EGM as the…
You are reading these words on the screen of your phone, tablet or computer. For decades, our access to vast amounts of information and instant communication has depended on antennas and transmitters that blanket the world with radiation, specifically non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation. But many people are concerned that this poses health risks. You’ve probably heard that you should turn off your cell phone and Wi-Fi while you sleep, that living close to a cell tower can cause cancer, and that some people are particularly sensitive to the radiation emitted by cell towers.These fears and feelings of anxiety are normal reactions…
According to data from the Los Angeles Police Department, crime reports filed in the city over the past four years show that burglaries in homes and apartments have increased nearly 40%, from 5,173 in 2020 to 7,219 in 2023. Los Angeles Police Chief Dominic Choi said this week that residential burglary cases are up at least 4 percent so far in 2024 compared to the same period last year. “Every family has the right to feel safe in their home and community,” Mayor Karen Bass said Friday in a news release about a recent string of residential burglaries in the…

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said in a joint statement on Friday (August 23) that European Union (EU) regulations affecting artificial intelligence (AI) could deny businesses, academia and other stakeholders in the region the opportunity to invest in new technologies and participate in economic growth opportunities. In a statement, the CEOs said tech companies operating in Europe face “overlapping regulations and inconsistent guidance on how to comply with them.” “While regulation of known harms is necessary, preemptively regulating theoretical harms to emerging technologies such as open source AI would stifle innovation,” the researchers wrote. “Europe’s risk-averse…
For tech writers like me, it’s hard to get a broad view of the technology in our daily lives. Many of us live in small rented apartments in the city center, severely limiting our ability to comprehensively evaluate more stationary things like doorbells and security cameras. With mesh Wi-Fi, the technology’s greatest advantage is that it provides consistent coverage over a large area, so getting a good view in a small apartment is hard. My solution with this modem router? Of course, I took it to my dad’s big house in the suburbs.A few months ago, Netgear sent me their…
Much of what we know about plant circadian rhythms is the result of laboratory experiments where inputs such as light and temperature can be tightly controlled. Less is known about how these biological timing mechanisms function in the more unpredictable natural world, where they evolved to align organisms with daily and seasonal cycles. A pioneering collaboration between researchers from the UK and Japan is helping to redress the balance through a series of innovative field experiments showing how plants combine clock signals with environmental cues under naturally fluctuating conditions. Building on these field-based studies, a team of researchers from Kyoto…
At the Caribbean Spectrum Management Conference held in Jamaica earlier this year, the Cayman Islands was recognized as a leader in the region when it comes to wireless broadband connectivity, and both Flow and Digicel launched 5G services in June. Speaking at the conference, Richard Marsden, senior managing director at NERA Economic Consulting, highlighted the need to provide available spectrum bandwidth to operators, saying: “When you look at Caribbean countries in terms of the amount of spectrum they have released for mobile, there is quite a bit of variation. The Cayman Islands is unusual in the region in terms of…
