New Delhi:German Facebook users would want the social media platform to pay them about $8 per month for sharing their contact information, while US users would only seek $3.50, according to a study of how people in various countries value their private information.
The study by US-based think tank the Technology Policy Institute (TPI) is the first that attempts to quantify the value of online privacy and data. It assessed how much privacy is worth in six countries by looking at the habits of people in the United States, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Columbia, and Argentina.
It addresses the growing concern about how companies from technology platforms to retailers have been collecting and monetizing personal data. US regulators have imposed hefty fines on Facebook Inc and Alphabet-owned Google’s YouTube unit for privacy violations.
The study found Germans want to be paid more for letting technology platforms share their personal data with third-parties followed by US consumers.
People across the board place the highest value on financial information such as bank balance and biometric information such as fingerprint data in particular, and consider location data the least valuable, the study found.
A technology platform, on average, across all people the study assessed, would have to pay consumers a monthly $8.44 to share their bank balance information, $7.56 to share fingerprint information, $6.05 to read an individual’s texts, and $5.80 to share information on cash withdrawals.
By contrast, people wanted to be paid only $1.82 per month to share location data and nothing to be sent advertisements via text messages.
The study found Latin American consumers have a preference for seeing advertisements on their smartphone, in contrast to US residents and Germans. US lawmakers are working on federal privacy legislation while states like California have put in place a new privacy law
London [UK]: English all-rounder Ben Stokes was given a royal honor at the Buckingham Palace after he guided his side to World Cup triumph last year.
Along with Stokes, Jos Buttler, Eoin Morgan, coach Trevor Bayliss, and Joe Root also received the honors as part of the New Year’s Honours List, ESPNCricinfo reported.
Morgan is due to be appointed a CBE and Root is to be made an MBE, while Bayliss will be made an OBE.
They all received their awards from the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William.
Ben Stokes was given an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to cricket and Buttler was made an Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) following a remarkable year for England, who beat New Zealand to win the men’s World Cup for the first time.
The left-handed Stokes had played a knock of 84 runs in the final to tie the game. He again batted in the Super Over to help England to achieve victory.
He also played a match-winning knock of 135 against Australia in the third Ashes Test at Headingley.
On the other hand, Buttler had featured in the decisive moment of the World Cup when he gathered Jason Roy’s throw and completed the run-out of Martin Guptill, which meant England won the title on the basis of the boundary-countback rule.
Tokyo: A spokesman for the Japanese government on Wednesday said the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and local organizers are going as planned with the Tokyo Olympics despite the threat of the coronavirus. The comments from spokesman Yoshihide Suga follow the assertion by IOC veteran member Richard Pound that organizers face a three-month window to decide the fate of the games.
The Olympics are set to open on 24 July with 11,000 athletes. The Paralympics open on 25 August with 4,400 athletes.
Pound told the Associated Press that the fast-spreading virus could cancel the Olympics. Suga says Pound’s opinion does not reflect the official view of the IOC, which has repeatedly said there are no plans to cancel or postpone the Tokyo Games.
The viral outbreak that began in China has infected more than 80,000 people and killed more than 2,700 globally. China has reported 2,715 deaths among 78,064 cases on the mainland. Five deaths in Japan have been attributed to the virus and the COVID-19 illness it causes.
If the IOC decides the games cannot go forward as scheduled in Tokyo, “you’re probably looking at a cancellation,” said Pound, who repeated the IOC’s stance that as of now the games are on.
The three-month window also goes for sponsors and television broadcasters who need to firm up planning. Not to mention travelers, athletes, and fans with 7.8 million tickets available for the Olympics and 2.3 million for the Paralympics.
As the games draw near, Pound said, “a lot of things have to start happening. You’ve got to start ramping up your security, your food, the Olympic Village, the hotels. The media folks will be in their building their studios.”
The threat of the virus seems to be growing.
At a government task force meeting on Wednesday on the virus outbreak, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he was asking organizers to cancel or postpone major sports or cultural events over the next two weeks.
New Delhi: Wicket-keeper batsman MS Dhoni will start practicing for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League from March 3-4, Chennai Super Kings’ CEO Kashi Vishwanathan confirmed on Wednesday.
The CEO also said that the training camp of CSK will commence only after March 19.
Speaking to ANI, Vishwanath said: “Dhoni will start practicing from 3rd or 4th March. Those who are available will join the practice with Dhoni. The official camp will commence after March 19.”
Thirty-eight-year-old Dhoni is currently enjoying some time away from the game. He last played competitive cricket during the 2019 World Cup.
MS Dhoni had to face criticism for his slow batting approach during India’s matches in the tournament. Especially in the games against England and New Zealand (semi-final), he had to bear the brunt of netizens, who deemed him as the reason for the Men in Blue’s loss.
Earlier this year, Dhoni did not find a place for himself in the BCCI’s centrally contracted players list.
BCCI had released the list of central contract list of players for the period from October 2019 to September 2020. (ANI)

Nagpur, February 2020—Abbott, the global healthcare company, recently launched a new inactivated quadrivalent vaccine for influenza, the first of its kind sub-unit vaccine offering protection against four virus strains, in India. It is the only 0.5 ml quadrivalent flu vaccine in India that has been approved for use in children below 3 years. In fact, it can be given to children from 6 months onwards, and to adults. A 0.5 ml vaccine could improve the immune response in children below 3 years.
A globally approved product, Abbott’s vaccine offers wide protection by immunizing against four different flu virus strains simultaneously. Hence, it is called a quadrivalent or tetravalent vaccine. It includes a second B-strain of influenza virus, compared to one B-strain included in trivalent vaccines. Recommending a vaccine can be complex for the health authorities. This is because there may be a mismatch in the vaccine strain and the circulating viral strain. Therefore, the inclusion of an additional B-strain in quadrivalent vaccines can help broaden protection.
As per a recently published study on this vaccine globally, in children, quadrivalent vaccines demonstrated superior immunogenicity or immune response compared with the alternate- lineage B-strains in trivalent vaccines, with comparable safety.
This is the first 3rd generation, quadrivalent sub-unit flu vaccine in India. A sub-unit vaccine is the most advanced flu vaccine. The benefit of a sub-unit vaccine is that it undergoes a further step of purification as compared to split vaccines, and thus is more refined. This may lead to lesser side-effects. In clinical studies conducted globally across high-risk groups including children, the elderly, pregnant women, asthmatics and Dr. Srirupa Das, Medical Director, Abbott India said, “We are excited with the launch of the quadrivalent version of our flu vaccine, which can be offered to both children above 6 months and adults. This particular type of vaccine provides a good immune response with less side-effects. This is yet another significant step in Abbott’s endeavor to protect as many people as possible against the flu. As part of its “Mothers Against Influenza” (MAI) campaign, which recognizes the potentially serious consequences that influenza can have, Abbott is raising awareness among people on the importance of protecting families against influenza so that they may live healthier, fuller lives.”
A respiratory infection that affects all ages, influenza is distinct from the common cold. An influenza infection typically results in high fever lasting for 3 to 4 days, including symptoms such as headache, myalgia or muscle pain, exhaustion, and severe chest discomfort and cough. Moreover, influenza can cause serious complications in certain groups such as those with respiratory ailments, cardiac disease, and diabetes, as well as young children and the elderly. Influenza A and B, the two viruses that cause human disease, are currently circulating globally and in India causing seasonal outbreaks. The disease burden of influenza is substantial, and B viruses have been estimated to be associated with 25% of all influenza-related mortality.
Dr. Agam Vora, a leading Pulmonologist from Mumbai and President, Geriatric Society of India said, “The National Center for Disease Control estimates show that influenza reported cases have increased 5-fold in India from 5,044 in 2012 to 28798 in 2019. And in Maharashtra, influenza reported cases have increased 23% per annum from 643 in 2013 to 2,287 reported cases in 2019. Vaccination is the best defense against influenza, and there is compelling evidence to show that quadrivalent vaccines offer wide-coverage protection. Studies show that these vaccines offer increased protection against alternate B-strains across different age-groups. Quadrivalent vaccines most benefit infants and children, not yet exposed to influenza B .”
Children are particularly vulnerable to influenza. One India study estimates over 16 million influenza cases occurred in 2016 in under-5-year-old patients, accounting for 10.9 million outpatient visits and 109,000 hospitalizations. Despite the proven benefits of influenza vaccination in children as well as adults and the elderly, immunization rates across all vaccine-preventable diseases remain low.

India, February 2020: Bringing the universe of pride to life, the celebrated Blenders Pride Fashion Tour went beyond conventional runway shows in its milestone 15th edition to unveil a breathtakingly new face of fashion.

By focussing on laser-sharp on fashion, the tour presented festivals of fashion and created a universe of pride through its three themes – Craft, Blend, and Identity.

At the Style Forum, industry stalwarts such as Kunal Rawal, Ashish Soni, David Abraham, Namrata Joshipura, Chinki Sinha and Sunil Sethi, with Anaita Shroff Adajania as moderator, came together for an intellectual exchange of ideas in the fashion arena, focusing on the topic ‘What’s the journey been for the Indian fashion industry and what does the future hold?’
Speaking on the occasion, Kartik Mohindra, Chief Marketing Officer, Pernod Ricard India, said, “In its 15th year of spearheading fashion in India, Blenders Pride Fashion Tour moved beyond conventional shows to become a celebration of all things fashion with a new vision. With its path-breaking format, the milestone edition of the tour enhanced the appeal for the youth and set the tone for innovation in the years to come. The journey of ‘Pride’ that the brand undertook last year, continued to take center-stage this year as well, to bring alive distinctive expressions of ‘Pride’. We are also thrilled to have collaborated with the industry leader, FDCI, in this landmark year, to take the property to new heights, together with illustrious designers and artists from across the country.”
Expounding the theme ‘The Pride of India’, the finale of Blenders Pride Fashion Tour celebrated the contribution of India’s iconic designers with My Origin, My Pride. The Pride of India was an ode to fashion, a grand union of the biggest names in the industry that came together to shape the future of fashion.

Mumbai, February 2020: After seven successful seasons of ruling reality television with India’s finest young singing talent, Zee TV’s popular singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs is set to return with an all-new, exciting Season 8 starting 29th February at 8 PM. In recent years, the franchise has introduced the music fraternity to li’l singing prodigies like Sugandha Date, Shreyan Bhattacharya, Anjali Gaikwad, Tanya Sharma, Shanmukhpriya, Sonakshi Kar and ‘Chote Bhagwaan’ Jayas Kumar. Each of these gems not only became household names overnight on the steam of their talent but managed to redefine the identity of those they’re close to … When their folks are referred to as Sugandha ke papa, Anjali ki Mumma, Jayas ki didi, Shreyans ke bhaiyya or Sonakshi ki daadi, the expression of unbridled joy and pride on their faces is truly priceless! Articulating this halo of success that makes the chests of anyone close to a Li’l Champ fill up with pride is the mantra of Season 8 – Bacchae Karenge Aisa Kaam, Unse Hoga Badon Ka Naam.
To impart invaluable life lessons and add significantly to the learning curve of the latest season’s talent pool with their unmatched musical expertise, years of experience in the industry and above all else, their ability to NOT judge but nurture and mentor the kids, the makers of the show have roped in the living legends of Indian music – PadmashriKumar Sanu, Padmabhooshan Udit Narayan, and the evergreen songstress Alka Yagnik as mentors. Between themselves, they have 6 national awards and a whopping 267 other prestigious awards! Their combined contribution races up to 30,000 songs in all Indian languages and they’re still going strong. After Kishore da, Lata Didi and Asha Ji, the only grand trio who are ruling the chartbusters since 1990, will be mentoring these Li’l Champs. The season will feature the man with the impeccable comic timing, the sunshine smile and the sass of a Li’l Champ himself – Maniesh Paul as host.
Zee TV Business Head Aparna Bhosle said “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs, as a platform, truly embodies our brand philosophy Aaj Likhenge Kal as it provides the future of our country an avenue to hone their talent, gain exposure to the finest in the business, thereby opening doors to an extraordinary career in music. The magic of this season lies in our coup, bringing together 3 of the most defining voices of Bollywood playback – Udit Narayan, Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik whose songs have endured the test of time and only further risen in relevance with the onset of the current trend of remixes. With their warm, affable personalities and the easy-going camaraderie they share amongst themselves and with host Maniesh Paul, we intend to set the right atmosphere that puts our kids at ease. The platform is a catalyst that enables them to scale their fullest potential and gain mastery over their craft, thereby turning into super-achieving ‘name-changers’ for their families.”
With the new season of Li’l Champs hitting air in 2020, a year when its parent franchise Sa Re Ga Ma Pa completes 25 glorious years of entertaining India, Zee TV unveiled the show in front of the media with a concert in Mumbai at the Bandra Fort where the three judges performed LIVE and host Maniesh Paul regaled the audience with his crackling wit and stage presence. A few of the latest kids on the block took to the stage and showcased the sheer range and versatility of the new talent pool this season.
Coming back to television after almost 12 years, Kumar Sanu said, “It took a show like Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs for me to want to return to television. The young kids here are extremely talented and gifted, and I am glad to have got this opportunity to mentor them. The platform has a legacy of over 25 years of showcasing the best singing talent. The idea of Alka Ji, Udit Ji and I on screen together as a reunion of the 90’s playback brigade appealed instantly as we get along so well. Many of our songs are a rage at the moment with their remixes being thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. So, it’ll be great fun to reconnect with the two of them and recreate the magic of the ’90s while guiding and mentoring some of the brightest singing talents of the country.”
Carrying on her association with the platform, Alka Yagnik said, “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs has been a very special journey for me for almost a decade now. I am elated to be a part of this iconic singing reality show once again. We are here to nurture and develop the kids rather than judge them. It’ll be a privilege to watch some of these kids grow into household names and make their parents and loved ones immensely proud. I will be helping the kids hone their talent so that they set foot in the industry someday as trained singers. I am excited to be working with my long-time friends Udit Narayan and Kumar Sanu and I know they’re going to gang up and trouble me! Eagerly waiting for the show to hit the TV screens.”
Udit Narayan added, “Zee TV and especially the platform of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa has always been very special to me as apart from giving our music fraternity some of its finest talents, the show has even launched my son Aditya as a host. I am very thrilled to be a part of the judges’ panel for this season of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs. Kumar ji ( Sanu), Alka Ji and I have worked together for over three decades and given audiences some memorable melodies. We share a great rapport and I am hoping that the audience will like all three of us coming back together on the small screen. I personally look forward to meeting the new talent this season will bring forth as I believe there is so much to learn from our youngest generation.”
Host Maniesh Paul said, “I am extremely excited to be associated with Zee TV, especially to host a show that has given India some of its finest singing sensations from different corners of the country. I look forward to spending time with this year’s contestants as the season progresses. I personally derive a lot of inspiration from these prodigies who’ve managed to learn and imbibe so much at such a young age. Additionally, this season will be all the more special for the kids as they will get to learn a lot from the three biggest singing legends of Bollywood.”
The show is co-produced by Essel Vision Productions Ltd (EVPL) and The Content Team. The talent scouts have moved from Bareilly to Kolkata and Chandigarh to Ahmedabad. Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’s Champs has been auditioning the country’s most talented young children to bring the best 16 to the forefront this year. From young classical singers who have learned the art of each raga through intensive training at a tender age to rappers who’re bursting out of their gullies to follow their dreams, these children are no less than superstars!
Get ready to watch Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs every Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm from 29th February only on Zee TV!
