The state-run Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) has launched an ambitious initiative to provide support and guidance to over 8,00,000 public school students in preparing for various undergraduate entrance exams.

KITE is the technology arm of the General Education Department, Government of Kerala.

The program titled ‘Key to Entrance’ was inaugurated by General Education Minister V. Sivankutty here on Saturday.

The main aim of the initiative is the state’s commitment to expanding educational opportunities and supporting students in the fields of science, humanities and business, an official statement said here on Sunday.

The dedicated portal for the initiative, www.entrance.kite.kerala.gov.in, provides free login access to students of higher secondary and vocational higher secondary schools in government and aided schools and enables them to access a wide range of learning materials, including questionnaires, assignments and mock tests, it said

All these resources will be available after the daily live classes broadcast on the KITE VICTERS channel from September 30, with simultaneous broadcast on two PM eVidya channels exclusively reserved for Kerala.

Students who miss the live sessions can watch them later via KITE’s YouTube channel.

The program will initially cover a comprehensive range of subjects, including chemistry, physics, botany, zoology, mathematics, history, political science, business administration, English and geography, and there are plans to expand it to more subjects in the future, it said.

There will be self-assessment opportunities in each class, allowing students to assess their progress and identify opportunities for improvement. The statement further said that continuous assessment will be facilitated through online mock exams to ensure effective learning outcomes.

To ensure smooth implementation of the initiative, the Director of General Education (DGE) has directed all schools to provide students with the necessary technical facilities.

K Anvar Sadath, Chief Executive Officer, KITE, said this is the largest public entrance examination training system in Kerala, reaching nearly 800,000 students.

“Our aim is to replicate the success of last year’s Crack the Entrance crash course, which saw excellent participation and impressive results for students preparing for the medical and engineering entrance exams,” he added.

A Stranger Crashing A TikToker’s Big Moment At The Charli XCX Show, And More Of This Week’s ‘One Main Character’

A Stranger Crashing A TikToker’s Big Moment At The Charli XCX Show, And More Of This Week’s ‘One Main Character’

Every day, somebody says or does something that earns them the scorn of the internet. Here at Digg, as part of our mission to curate what the internet is talking about right now, we rounded up the main characters on X from this past week and held them accountable for their actions.

This week, we’ve got Marques Brownlee’s cash grab, lively debate about Chappell Roan’s politics, Sam Altman’s revolutionary note-taking method and a Charli XCX fan who became the internet’s enemy number one.

Monday

Marques Brownlee

The character: Marques Brownlee, YouTube tech reviewer, newly-minted app guy

The plot: Brownlee, best-known for some brutal takedowns of bad products, has put out his very own bad product. The slap-dash smartphone wallpaper app, dubbed “Panels,” demands a hefty $12-per-month fee for what amounts to be a pretty sub-par experience.

Even worse, it seemingly collects a lot of user data. People aren’t happy.

The repercussion: In fairness, Brownlee quickly backpedaled on some of the worst parts of the pitch, but it’s clear that this should have never launched in this state. We’re certainly not against paying for art under the right circumstances, but we’ll probably be sticking with Wallaroo for about $2 a month and a much better experience. Go back to the drawing board, MKBHD.

Grant Brunner

Saturday

Chappell Roan

The character: Chappell Roan, pop star, divisive figure

The plot: Over the weekend, a cherry-picked comment made by singer Chappell Roan in a Guardian interview went viral and sparked a hell of a lot of debate on X.

Roan, who has seen a meteoric rise to superstardom this year, told the British newspaper: “There are so many things that I would want to change. So I don’t feel pressured to endorse someone. There’s problems on both sides.”

The repercussion: It’s common knowledge that Chappell Roan is a fierce advocate of LGBTQ+ rights, but many saw her refusal to endorse the left-wing presidential nominee as a failure to truly support and protect that community.

Some X users even accused her of being a secret Republican.

Others, meanwhile, understood Roan’s reluctance to endorse Kamala Harris when there are many decisions by the Democratic party that she doesn’t support — she is, for example, an outspoken critic of Israel’s war in Gaza, which the Dems are backing — and argued that the issue isn’t as clear-cut as some are making out.

Roan herself eventually took to social media to clarify her statements, and reassure those in doubt that while she has no desire to endorse any particular candidate, she will not be voting for Trump.

Tuesday

Sam Altman

The character: Sam Altman, OpenAI co-founder, huge note-taker, inconsiderate notebook owner

The plot: Altman has graced our column previously (the time he wanted to takeover the world with a trillion words) and a clip of Altman’s appearance on the “How I Write” podcast recently raised eyebrows after he revealed some of his writing habits and preference for spiral notebooks — because ripping those pages out is much easier, and is something he does quite often.

Altman also casually let it slip how he throws piles of crumpled paper on the floor, and waits for his housecleaner (“when our house cleaner comes in, you know, whenever,”) to clear up the pile.

The repercussion: While Altman has been ridiculed many times since OpenAI went mainstream, his lack of media training and refusal to act human was something people couldn’t forgive.

Adwait Patil

Tuesday

Charli XCX fan

The character: Charli XCX fan, dancing intruder, excited person

The plot: On the NYC night of Charli XCX and Troye Sivan’s “Sweat” tour, TikToker Kelley Heyer, who created the viral dance to Charli’s song “Apple,” performed the routine under a spotlight and surrounded by screaming fans. It was very much a Main Character moment for Heyer, so people watching the video online were surprised to see someone jumping in to dance alongside her.

The repercussion: Initial reactions to the stage invader, who was not known to Heyer, were extreme, to say the least. Sure, her briefly trying to grab Heyer’s arm was a little weird and awkward — but some X users went as far as to say the girl deserved to be hit, while others resorted to cruel, fatphobic comments.

Thankfully, reason appears to have prevailed, with many people coming to the girl’s defense. Even Heyer herself addressed the situation and called out those being nasty and abusive to someone who was just excited.

all the rumors so far and what we want to see

all the rumors so far and what we want to see

The smart ring category is hot right now, but is Apple ready to get in on the action on its own?

In the last few months we’ve seen the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Ring and the RingConn Smart Ring, while the Oura Ring (now in its third generation) is the long-standing frontrunner in the race for the best smart rings. Rumors that Apple might be tempted to join the party have been circulating for a few years now, and it appears that Apple is at least somewhat in the planning stages of this form factor.

Here we have compiled everything we know and think we know about the so-called Apple Ring: the leaks and rumors that have surfaced, the predicted price, the possible release date and more. We’ve also added some of the features and specs we’d like to see from the Apple Ring.

Apple Ring: in a nutshell

  • What is that? A supposed smart ring made by Apple

  • When might it appear? TBC, but not before 2025

  • How much could it cost? Expect to pay $399 / £399 / AU$750 or more

Apple Ring: price and release date predictions

Oura Ring 3 on a fingerOura Ring 3 on a finger

Oura Ring 3 on a finger

We don’t have much indication of how much the Apple Ring might cost, but we can take a look at some of the other options on the market. The Samsung Galaxy Ring is available for $399 / £399 and up (Australian pricing is yet to be confirmed), while the Oura Ring 3 is available for $299 / £299 and up (and is not currently available in Australia).

That gives you an idea of ​​the price points we’re talking about. Apple wants to stay competitive, but (as its best iPhones show) it’s not afraid to put a price premium on its products. If we had to guess, we’d say the Apple Ring will be slightly more expensive than its competitors from Samsung and Oura.

Also keep in mind that the best Oura Ring features require a monthly subscription ($5.99 / £5.99 per month). Apple already has the Fitness Plus program that you can sign up for if you own an Apple Watch ($9.99 / £9.99 / AU$14.99 per month). Therefore, it is quite possible that this is also an optional extra for the smart ring.

When it comes to a release date, 2024 and even 2025 seem unlikely given the frequency of leaks and rumors we’ve seen so far; It doesn’t appear that a launch is imminent. We didn’t see an Apple Ring alongside the Apple Watch 10 at the It’s Glowtime event in September 2024, but there’s a chance it could join the Apple Watch 11 in September 2025 if the device shows up as expected.

Apple Ring: Leaks and Rumors

Someone holds the Ringconn Smart Ring against a concrete background.Someone holds the Ringconn Smart Ring against a concrete background.

Someone holds the Ringconn Smart Ring against a concrete background.

The Apple Ring rumors go back a long way, at least to 2020. A patent filed by Apple this year showed that a smart ring would be used to control other devices – with the idea that you could potentially control the channels on your Apple TV could switch by tapping your ring. Of course, patents aren’t always a guarantee of future products, but they show what companies are thinking about and researching.

In 2023, Apple again filed smart ring patents that positioned its potential device as a type of controller for other devices. It seems that each Apple Ring that appears will not only focus on health and fitness, but will also give you new ways to control features on your other Apple devices.

It seems that Apple isn’t limiting itself to finger-mounted wearables either. Another patent from 2023 revealed plans for a type of apple anklet that could be worn around the ankle or around the neck. The success of the Apple Watch is obviously causing Apple to think about how you can track more fitness metrics.

Meanwhile, an industry report out of South Korea suggested in early 2024 that an Apple smart ring was on the way to take on the likes of Samsung and Oura. However, since nothing has emerged in the past few months, either the report’s sources were mistaken or Apple has changed its mind about the future product launch schedule.

We saw another sign that an Apple Ring could be on the way: an Apple survey sent to Apple Watch owners asking how many of them currently wear a smart ring alongside their smartwatch. It may be a bit of a stretch to use this as evidence of an Apple Ring, but it’s not nothing.

And that’s it for the Apple Ring rumors – no hint of pricing, specs, design or anything like that. The lack of details in the rumors suggests that a release could still be some way off, although there was enough excitement at this point to suggest that it is at least being considered.

Apple Ring: What we want to see

Apple Watch Series 10Apple Watch Series 10

Apple Watch Series 10

If an Apple Ring is indeed on the way, what will it look like – and how might it beat existing models? If Apple engineers are reading this, here’s what we want from an Apple Smart Ring.

1. Excellent battery life

Of course, this shows up on every wish list for every device, but decent battery life is a must – especially since the standard Apple Watch won’t last more than a day or two without a charge. In fact, that could be a major selling point for the Apple Ring: continue to track your steps and other activities while your Apple Watch is charging.

2. Premium sleep tracking

Speaking of charging the Apple Watch, many users charge their watch overnight. This means that the smartwatch often cannot be used for sleep tracking, and we hope the Apple Ring can do this very well. In addition, due to its smaller size and lighter weight, a smart ring is better suited for tracking movements while you sleep.

3. Lots of software features without a subscription

We’ve already mentioned Apple Fitness Plus, but we hope that many of the features of an Apple Ring are available without a subscription – like with the Apple Watch. And for those who want additional features like fitness videos, workout plan customizations, in-session metrics, and more, there could be an additional subscription option.

4. A superior design

There are really only so many ways to design a smart ring, but we hope Apple gives the Apple Ring the same aesthetic flavor as shown on the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. We’re thinking about a super slim and super light form factor, a choice of different colors and a smart ring that is one of the most comfortable on the market.

5. Seamless integration of the Apple ecosystem

Apple usually does this perfectly, with iPhones, iPads, Macs and Apple Watches constantly getting new integrations and connections – so we’re hoping this extends to Apple Ring too. It’s unlikely that Apple wants the Smart Ring to replace the Apple Watch, and in fact it could be a useful screen for it (remember, Oura also has an Apple Watch app).

Räty and Sprong stood out in the Canucks’ loss to the Flames

Räty and Sprong stood out in the Canucks’ loss to the Flames

Welcome to Instant Reaction, the series here at CanucksArmy Here we give you our immediate reaction to tonight’s Vancouver Canucks game and ask our readers to do the same in the comments section below!

Here is the lineup for today’s game:

Right at the start, Vilmer Alriksson set up Phil Di Giuseppe for a partial breakaway after a nice cross-ice feed. It was nice to see Alriksson given another chance in preseason, even though he could have easily moved to his junior club.

Jonathan Lekkerimäki made a nifty one-touch pass at the blue line that not only allowed the Canucks to win the zone, but also gave them their first power play of the game when Lekkerimäki drew a tripping penalty on the play. Aatu Räty had the best chance of gaining the man advantage when he sent a one-timer low blocker flying to Dan Vladar.

The Flames scored first on the next shift when Brayden Pachal fired a point shot that Arturs Silovs had difficulty catching in traffic. 1-0 Flames.

Ty Mueller caused a turnover after he intercepted a bad pass to Mackenzie Weegar and went on a breakaway. Weegar caught up to Mueller and deflected the 2023 fourth-round pick’s shot wide.

Ryan Lomberg took advantage of a broken play that once again started with a point throw to Silovs to make it happen 2-0 Flames.

Jonathan Lekkerimäki jumped on a loose puck after Daniel Sprong released the puck in the high slot after solid work along the boards. 2-1 Flames.

This is Lekkerimäki’s first goal in Canucks colors and another strong play from Daniel Sprong, who continues his already strong preseason. And yes, STRONG preseason. No SPRONG preseason. Be better.

Dan Vladar made numerous saves as the quarter progressed after another strong transition from the Räty line. Räty was robbed by Vladar on a tap-in after Vincent Desharnais served him with a point-blank cross-ice feed.

The pace was good in this game – anything better than what we saw in Seattle on Friday night – as the Canucks trailed at the first intermission.

The Flames pulled ahead by two at the end of a power play just before halftime of the second period after Blake Coleman made a point shot that seemed to beat Arturs Silovs in slow motion. 3-1 Flames.

Point shots continue to be a bit of a problem for Silovs.

The Nils Höglander-Aatu Räty-Conor Garland trio continued to be the Canucks’ best team and were rewarded for their efforts after Höglander used Garland in a two-on-one with Räty. Garland held the puck, kicked him in the leg and passed it unnoticed to Räty, who had all the time in the world to take the perfect shot to beat Dan Vladar and score him 3-2.

The Flames moved forward after the release… you guessed it, another point shot! This time it was Adam Klapka who spun around at the top, realized he didn’t have much room to maneuver, and let loose a wrister that found its way past Silovs.

The Canucks entered the third period trailing by two, with Devin Cooley and Nikita Tolopilo getting to the crease for the Flames and Canucks, respectively.

Akito Hirose left the game at the start of the third period after falling awkwardly onto the boards after Adam Klapka completed his check on the 25-year-old defender.

Aatu Räty almost scored his second goal of the game as he cruised to another two-on-one win. He thought about shooting the whole time but hit the crossbar. Add this to his highlight reel that night.

The Canucks had over three minutes of uninterrupted power play time and we got another great look at Daniel Sprong, who had another strong game of his own. They didn’t manage to score, but Sprong looked dangerous enough to make me realize he’ll be a real threat on PP2, if not PP1, this season.

4-2 Flames final.

Some takeaways from tonight:

-The NHL preseason is far too long. Start the season now!
-Aatu Räty impressed once again and he could be just the right-handed center this team needs…so to speak. It’s so much fun to watch his stick play. More players should do this so I never have to listen to strong arguments for the team faceoff again.
-Another evening where I would have liked to have seen more of Sammy Blais. I don’t think he’ll make this team at this point.
-The Canucks are perfect with 13 penalty kill opportunities so far this preseason. This means they are on track to achieve a 100% PK rate this season.

What is your immediate reaction to tonight’s game?

Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer talks Ryan Williams, Jalen Milroe and injuries heading to Georgia

Alabama football combined a dominant first half with a shaky second half in which it barely eked out a victory, ultimately defeating Georgia 41-34 at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday.

Freshman receiver Ryan Williams scored a late touchdown, and then freshman cornerback Zabien Brown snagged an interception to secure the victory over No. 1/2 bulldogs.

Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer spoke to reporters after the game. Here are some of the things he said.

Post-game press conference by Kalen DeBoer

  • DeBoer on intercepting Zabien Brown: “Just in a great position. It definitely looked different depending on how he played it.”
  • DeBoer on the two freshmen who got in late: “It was fun celebrating those guys in the locker room.”
  • DeBoer: We expect to win games. These games. Of course the locker room is full of excitement. I also want to make sure we understand that this is the expectation.
  • DeBoer on Ryan Williams and Zabien Brown: “They definitely earned the stripe in the middle of their helmets tonight.”
  • DeBoer on the emotional rollercoaster: “When you play a really good football team, you know there’s going to be a strong push.”
  • DeBoer on Kendrick Law said he has a lower body injury. He said it was unfortunate that he couldn’t finish the game because of the hard work he put in.
  • DeBoer: “Guys that are ready when their opportunity comes. We talked about that a lot in fall camp.”
  • DeBoer said on Jalen Milroe that one of the areas he has improved is throw position. “If we continue like this, we will be difficult to defend.”
  • DeBoer said Ryan Williams’ post-catch skills impressed him.
  • DeBoer said he is proud of his players for maintaining confidence and not doing it in an arrogant manner.

Prince fans can rent the Purple Rain house on Airbnb to party like it’s 1999

Prince fans can rent the Purple Rain house on Airbnb to party like it’s 1999

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — For a limited time, up to 100 Prince fans visiting the music superstar’s hometown will have a post-party place to enjoy his cultural legacy, a home featured in the film ” “Purple Rain” can be seen.”

Although the white, two-story house with brown trim in Minneapolis looks unremarkable from the outside, there’s a lot on the inside that’s got the late icon’s followers swooning over this new limited-time Airbnb rental. Upstairs, a large closet with paisley wallpaper and leopard print on the floor behind glass displays the iconic outfits worn by Prince and keeps other outfits on hand to provide tenants with the most beautiful ones.

“And then what guests can do themselves is actually play around with a selection of really iconic ’80s outfits, looks and styles to kind of tap into their inner rock star,” said Ali Killam, an Airbnb spokesperson.

The rentals are also accessible to non-Diamonds and Pearls fans – just $7 per night per person for up to four guests. The price is based on Prince’s favorite number and a total of 25 nights are available over a seven-week period from October 26th to December 14th.

The Airbnb rentals are a sign of the times – the film’s 40th anniversary. On screen, Prince starred as The Kid, a musician and bandleader with a difficult home life.

The film, along with the hit album of the same name, made Prince a superstar with songs like the title track “Let’s Go Crazy” and “When Doves Cry.” More hits followed like “1999” and “Little Red Corvette,” and he sold more than 100 million records with a cross-gender, cross-genre mix of rock, funk and soul. He died on April 21, 2016 of an accidental fentanyl overdose at the age of 57 at his Paisley Park estate in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

The rentals are hosted by Lisa Coleman and Wendy Melvoin, two lifelong friends and musical collaborators of Prince’s, on behalf of Airbnb, the late musician’s estate, and global media company Warner Bros. Discovery.

In the home’s basement, guests can sleep in a replica of the child’s bedroom from the film, right down to the lavender pillows on the bed and even a 1980s-style cassette player. There is also a lounge where guests can play guitar, drums or piano. QR codes throughout the house link visitors to comments from the hosts.

“It’s designed to really immerse you in the world of The Kid,” Killam said.

And of course, as a tribute to Prince, his career and his influence, there’s plenty of his signature color purple. There is a large piece of wall art featuring purple bananas, which Killam said is a reference to “Let’s Go Crazy.”

If you would like to Die 4 Prince, you can request a booking online starting October 2nd at 6am Pacific Time and ending October 6th at 11:59pm Pacific Time. Airbnb says a pool of potential guests will randomly select final rental invitations based on fans’ answers about why they want to stay there.

The rot, the carnage and what’s in the basement

The rot, the carnage and what’s in the basement

Before I get to the meat of this review, I would like to make a request: Can we please nominate Harold Perrineau for an Emmy? His appearance on today’s episode of OUT OF on MGM+ was simply outstanding.

That’s what the episode itself was like. Much of it dealt with the fallout from Tian-Chen’s tragic death last week. Through Boyd’s flashbacks, we get a few more glimpses of this horrific scene. It’s cruel and hard to watch. In a series with a lot of blood and violence, this was still one of the most horrific moments we’ve ever seen.

As day breaks in Fromville, they find Boyd in the barn, muttering to himself in Chinese. After being released, he rushes towards Tian-Chen’s body, crying. “I’m so sorry,” he says. “I am so sorry.” It’s heartbreaking.

They later hold a funeral for her after Kristi and Jade do their best to make her body presentable. It’s a really moving scene. There are a lot of them in this episode. Kenny and Jim return to town with the bounty of vegetables they found, only to learn the terrible news. Poor Kenny lost both his parents to this place. When Boyd later reveals that he was forced to watch and repeats the line Tian-Chen told him, Kenny collapses again.

But it’s not just an emotional episode. There are also some pretty big reveals and two new mysteries to unravel. We’ll start with that.

  • The first new mystery is Fatima’s very scary pregnancy. She was sick. She can’t keep the food down and even the smell of it makes her sick. She spits blood. There’s something wrong with her teeth. They visit Marielle and she says everything seems normal, but she doesn’t exactly work with the latest medical technology. Later, when Fatima sees the bushels of spoiled vegetables, she smells them and we immediately know that it smells good to her. She grabs a handful of the blue-rotted roots and begins to eat ravenously. I think it’s safe to say that that’s whatever is inside her not a human baby. I have a very bad feeling about it.
  • The second big mystery occurs at the very end of the episode, when the phone rings in Jim’s house. He records it nervously and at first all we hear is noise. Then a little boy’s voice comes from the other end. “Dad,” says the boy. “It’s Thomas.” Thomas, who died as an infant when he fell off the changing table. I’m not sure what to make of it, but I feel like it’s just the evil of the city whoever He turned his head – and just as his daughter Julie turned him off because he couldn’t pull himself together.

The big reveal is also something of a new mystery, although I think it brings us closer to an answer. When Tabitha was awake in the real world, she used the address in Victor’s lunchbox to find his home. Here she met Victor’s father and apparently passed out because she wakes up a little later on the couch. Victor’s father is understandably suspicious and nothing Tabitha says can allay his suspicions. Your story is too far away. But when she mentions the children locked in the tower, his behavior changes.

We learn that before his wife and children disappeared, she was having visions – nightmarish visions of children trapped in a tower – after they dropped acid one last time. “I think I was sent here to find you,” Tabitha tells him. “I think you were sent here because of what’s in the basement,” he replies ominously.

He takes her to the basement where he keeps dozens and dozens of paintings, all painted by Victor’s mother. They show us Fromville and its monstrous residents as well as the creepy children and the boy in white. It reminds me a little of Victor’s childhood drawings.

Here we see the Faraway trees, the stone slabs from Jade’s tunnel adventure, a fanged monster, a lighthouse, the forest. I’m sure fans will study these images in detail and will likely come across more clues and interesting tidbits.

I’m once again very impressed with this season. The F-bombs have all but disappeared, which is a pleasant change from the almost incessant rants of last season. Again, the swearing doesn’t bother me, it just feels like laziness in the writing when the characters say the F-word so frequently.

The characters also do a little better when it comes to communication, although I wish Boyd would talk to Jade about what he saw in the tunnels. And Kenny’s idea of ​​burning the monsters in their sleep isn’t a bad one. I might prefer catching one to Boyd’s idea.

One thing is for sure: when the credits rolled, I was hungry for more. I’m glad they put out this weekly publication so we can all talk about it and make our predictions and make our fan theories and everything else, but sometimes I wish I could just mess up the whole thing at the moment.
