The Srinagar-Jammu national highway, crucial for connecting the valley with the rest of the country, was also reopened for vehicular traffic after a day's closure. However, commuters were advised to exercise caution, particularly between Banihal and Qazigund, where roads remained slippery. Several key interdistrict routes, including Mughal Road and Sinthan Pass, continue to be closed due to heavy snow accumulation. Saturday's snowfall had significantly impacted air, rail and road traffic. In neighbouring Punjab, and Haryana, a thick blanket of fog reduced visibility early in the morning at several places, according to the Met office. In Haryana, severe cold prevailed during the day at most places. The maximum temperature in Ambala was recorded at 15.8 degrees Celsius, Hisar 13.6 degrees, Karnal 13 degrees, Rohtak 12.2 degrees, Sirsa 13.4 degrees and Gurugram 13.2 degrees. In Punjab, Amritsar registered a day temperature of 16.7 degrees Celsius and Ludhiana 16 degrees. Delhi, on the other hand, recorded a maximum temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, two notches below normal, the India Meteorological Department said. The minimum temperature was at 13 degrees Celsius, six notches above normal. In Rajasthan, Kota recorded light rain in the 24-hour period ending at 8:30 am while the weather remained dry in the state's western parts. The highest maximum temperature in the state was recorded in Barmer at 24.5 degrees Celsius.

Three of these images are fake. Can you spot the real image? Some images generated by artificial intelligence have become so convincingly real that there is no surefire way to spot the fakes. But experts say there are still things we can try to detect fakes. "Media literacy is super awesome," said Matt Groh, assistant professor at Northwestern University. "But it needs to extend to AI literacy. Like the classic kind of things that you want to teach in media literacy, we still need to teach those same things. We just need to add the AI portion to it now." RELATED STORY | Nobel Prize in physics awarded to 2 scientists for discoveries that enabled artificial intelligence Groh's team at Northwestern released a guide on how to spot AI generated images. The full preprint paper was released in June. "So what we've done is we've articulated 5 different categories of artifacts, implausibilities," Groh said. "Ways to tell AI-generated image apart from a real photograph." The academic preprint guide offers detailed tips, tricks and examples on spotting AI-generated images. It also teaches important questions to consider when consuming media. Anatomical implausibilities The first and easiest telltale signs: anatomical implausibilities. Ask yourself: Are the fingers, eyes, and bodies off? Are there extra limbs or do they bend strangely? Are there too many teeth? Stylistic implausibilities Ask yourself: Do images seem plastic, glossy, shiny or cartoonish? Are there overly dramatic or cinematic? Functional implausibilities Ask yourself: Is text garbled? Is clothing strange? Are objects not physically correct, like how this backpack strap merges into clothing? Violation of physics Ask yourself: Are light and shadows off? Are there impossible reflections? Sociocultural implausibilities Ask yourself: Are there images that are just too unbelievable or historically inaccurate? RELATED STORY | AI voice cloning: How programs are learning to pick up on pitch and tone "What we're trying to do is give you a snapshot of what it looks like in 2024 and how we can help people move their attention as effectively as possible," Groh said. "Education is really the biggest thing. There's education on the tools," said Cole Whitecotton, senior professional research associate at the National Center for Media Forensics. Whitecotton encourages the public to educate themselves and try AI tools to know their capabilities and limits. "I think everybody should go out and use it. And look at how these things do what they do and understand a bit of it," he said. "Everyone should interact with ChatGPT. In some way. Everyone should interact with Midjourney. And look at how these things do what they do and understand a bit of it." Whitecotton suggests being inquisitive and curious when scrolling through social media. "If you interacted with every piece of content in that way, then there you would be a lot less likely to be duped and to be sort of sucked into that sort of stuff, right?" he said. "How do you interact with Facebook and with Twitter and all these things? How do you consume the media?" Whitecotton added. RELATED STORY | Biden's AI advisor speaks on AI policy, deepfakes, and the use of AI in war While AI-generated images and videos continue to evolve, Groh and his team offer a realistic approach to a changing technological landscape where tips and tricks may become outdated quickly. "I think a real, good, useful thing is we build this. We update this every year. Okay, some of these things work. Some of these things don't. And I think once we have a base, we're able to update it," Groh said. "I think one of the problems is we didn't have a base. And so one of the things we're really excited about is even sharing our framework, because I think our framework is going to help people just navigate that conversation." So were you able to guess which image is real? If you guessed the image of the girl in the bottom left corner, you are correct! "It sucks that there's this misinformation in the world. But it's also possible to navigate this new problem," Groh said. If you want to test yourself even more, the Northwestern University research team has released this site that gives you a series of real and AI-generated images to differentiate.Veteran Israeli journalist Elad Simchayoff says the Jewish world faces a watershed moment in dealing with rising hostility. Simchayoff, who has been reporting from Europe on the recent violent antisemitic riots in Amsterdam, believes 7 October has transformed the relationship between diaspora and Israeli Jews. “Up until October 7, we’ve seen acts of antisemitism, anti-Zionism, anti-Israelism as something that always had an excuse,” he said at the Zionist Federation of Australia biennial in Melbourne earlier this year, where he was a featured speaker. “It was easier for us to see it as something that was affected by an outside reason. It might be the government, it might be political landscape” Simchayoff said. However, he argues that the response to Hamas’s attacks has stripped away these rationalisations. “After our people were massacred, raped, injured, abducted, and still people were marching out in the streets calling for the destruction of Israel, calling for the genocide of Jews... it’s something that we cannot move forward from. This will leave a dent for many years to come,” Simchayoff said. He is more concerned about the long-term impact of smaller, everyday incidents of discrimination than the large events that make the news. “What troubles me is the more minor incidents,” he said, citing examples of Israelis being refused service at bars upon showing their ID, or taxi drivers ejecting Jewish passengers. “Having to change our daily lives, having to change our routine, having to think twice whether we will speak in Hebrew... That is the thing that I think can really change the way that Jewish communities conduct their lives,” Simchayoff believes. Reflecting on his experience of 7 October from London, the journalist described the surreal disconnect of watching the horror unfold while the city continued as normal. “The dichotomy here was just mind blowing. It tore me up inside,” he said. Yet despite the challenges, Simchayoff sees the potential for stronger Jewish unity emerging from the crisis. “October 7 has given an opportunity to reshape, to reinvent the connection between Jewry in the diaspora and Israel,” he said, noting increased mutual understanding between Israeli and diaspora Jews. “We’ve seen amazing initiatives from Jewish diaspora and Jewish communities sent to Israel... There’s some sort of blood connection that wasn’t there before, or at least was a little bit forgotten before October 7,” he said.
Mukesh Ambani gets richer by Rs 20,230 crore in just five days due to...Too early to celebrate – Arne Slot keeps leaders Liverpool focusedAdvertisement Over the past few years, fears about toxic and inflammatory "seed oil" have taken over the internet. Many experts dismiss this, saying studies show cooking with vegetable oil is good for you. What seed oil is actually doing in our diet is more complicated than either side lets on. In recent years, a war has been brewing over the fats we eat. Specifically, it's a fight over "seed oils." Are they as toxic as some health influencers believe? Robert F. Kennedy Jr, President-elect Trump's pick for Health and Human Services secretary , is a leading figure in the fight. He has a line of t-shirts, bumper stickers, and red hats dedicated to "make frying oil tallow again," arguing for places like McDonalds to go back to using beef fat. Advertisement Nutrition experts say the discourse around so-called seed oils stokes unnecessary fear, obscuring the truth about what is already well-established about how to eat to promote human health and longevity. Professor Richard Bazinet, who studies how fat fuels our brains at the University of Toronto, says online discourse about seed oils being the "root of all evil" has exploded since 2020. "People are coming out and saying, 'Hey, the government's lying to you,'" he told Business Insider. "Saturated fats are good for you. Seed oils are actually what's killing you, causing cancer." Advertisement Let's not get it twisted: butter is not the salve here. But the health benefits of seed oils are also murky. The seed oils under fire, aka 'the hateful 8' lacaosa/Getty Images For centuries, people around the world have used local oils, some of which could be classified as "seed oils," derived from mustard seeds and flaxseeds. None of those were bad for their health. These days, "seed oil" is more of a pejorative term than a technical definition, referring to oils high in omega-6 fatty acid, including: Advertisement Canola Corn Soybean Cottonseed Grapeseed Sunflower Safflower Rice bran Some influencers call them "the hateful eight." Do seed oils cause inflammation? Predrag Popovski/Getty Images Opponents of seed oils say that they are toxic and often recommend butter instead, which is rich in saturated fatty acids with only small amounts of omega-6. Advertisement Cardiologist Dariush Mozaffarian, director of the Food is Medicine Institute at Tufts University, told BI he has found no compelling evidence that seed oils are harmful. Mozaffarian has authored dozens of studies independently investigating how oils rich in omega-6 impact health issues like heart disease, stroke, and weight gain. He said he has found lots of evidence they're good for overall health, lowering type 2 diabetes rates, and improving cholesterol levels. But he still can't convince some of his "very smart" friends to agree with him on this, including some nutrition scientists who say the concerning trends linked to omega-6 can't be waved away. Advertisement A long-term study of Eastern European countries in the 1990s found that those who used "seed oils" with a higher concentration of omega-3 had fewer heart disease deaths than countries that went with oil richer in omega-6. One thing all researchers — including Mozaffarian — agree upon is that we need a healthy balance of the two essential fatty acids: omega-3 and omega-6. These days, we do not get enough omega-3. There are clear trends showing that less omega-3 and more omega-6 in the diet is associated with more obesity , and operates on pathways in the brain that can encourage more eating, and tell the gut to store more fat. Studies link high omega-6 intake with more chronic pain, overeating , and potential mood issues while new research on omega-3 suggests supplementation can improve satiety and keep cognitive function going strong in old age. Advertisement Several scientists who've studied dietary fats at the National Institutes of Health told BI the internet's focus on specific oils obscures a deeper issue: omega-6 is infused in the American food system in myriad ways, distorting the nutrient density of what we eat. From processed foods at the gas station, to seemingly innocent, seed oil-free items like chicken eggs, our nutrition equation has been thrown completely off balance. Related stories Baked into the fabric of the modern American diet Westend61/Getty Images A century ago, consumption of omega-6 fatty acids was less than 3% of our total calories. Advertisement That changed after World War II, when new technology made it possible to mass-produce new kinds of monounsaturated vegetable oils from plants rich in omega-6. Canada invented canola, and many cooks swapped out dangerous trans fats for this cheaper, more accessible oil. Food producers also started making ultra-processed foods with things like canola oil or corn oil. Suddenly, our modern eating era was born. There were some holdouts: McDonald's didn't stop using beef tallow until around 1990, but as vegetarianism and veganism became more popular, "seed" oils became the default inoffensive, dirt-cheap choice to manufacture, fry, and cook food for the masses. Advertisement Today, omega-6 accounts for roughly 10% to 20% of calories in the average American diet, which is dependent on a backbone of soy and corn. It's unavoidable in our food system, and it's in prepared foods at higher concentrations than ever. It's in everything: corn chips, peanut butter, farmed salmon, even today's grilled chicken is higher in omega-6 than it used to be. Getting enough omega-3 to balance this all out would be a tall order. Advertisement "We have a river of oils flowing through the food supply," psychiatrist and nutritional neuroscientist Joseph Hibbeln said. Hibbeln is an expert in lipid biochemistry and brain health, and studied dietary fat at the National Institutes of Health for nearly three decades. He has seen through his research how these oils increase appetite, and change people's taste preferences so food companies can drive up sales. "It doesn't have to be a conspiracy, it's just: you sell more food." Traditional Mediterranean diets, the favorite eating plan of most dieticians and nutrition buffs, had about a 1:1 ratio of omega-3's to omega-6's by default. There was plenty of olive oil, high in omega-9, but also a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids from foods like fatty fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds. Advertisement Still, Dr. Artemis Simopoulos, former chair of the nutrition coordinating committee at the National Institutes of Health, says demonizing "seed oils" misses the point. If most of your diet is ultra-processed, it doesn't matter what your McDonald's french fries are cooked in. "This was a problem that was created by agriculture and food industry," Simopoulos told Business Insider. This is not dissimilar from Mozaffarian's common refrain whenever anyone asks him if they should switch to avocado oil or beef tallow to prevent inflammation. Advertisement "There are things that are way more important for you than to even think about seed oils," Mozaffarian said. "I want people to be avoiding super processed foods and to be avoiding refined flours and sugars." What does this mean for the food industry? Canola oil producers have been changing the composition of their product, swapping out more omega-6 for omega-9. Stuart Walmsley/Getty Images New alternatives to deep fryer "seed oils" are popping up, and gaining traction. Take Zero Acre, an oil company developing monounsaturated oils made from fermented sugar cane. The company has investment from Chipotle, is used in the restaurants of Michelin-starred chefs , and had a collaboration with Shake Shack. Advertisement The oil industry is already bracing for a change in public sentiment, and not just with independent alternatives like Zero Acre. Simopoulos has consulted for giant food companies like Nestlé and is working with farmers in China to plant more traditional camellia trees for cooking oil, since it's rich in omega-3. She and Bazinet, the University of Toronto researcher, both said big food giants are pivoting away from using omega-6-heavy oils, favoring omega-9, which is nonessential and doesn't compete with omega-3. "Things are totally changing, and the sooner the better," she said. Advertisement Don't let fears about 'seed oil' derail a healthy diet Mediterranean diets, rich in whole grains, vegetables, and olive oil, are a favorite eating plan of nutrition buffs. vaaseenaa/Getty Images US health authorities speak in broad terms about nutrition, without diving too deep into the chemical and molecular differences between different fat sources. They don't make any scientific distinction between seed oils and other unsaturated fat sources, and they don't talk much about the importance of balancing essential fatty acids. Their unwavering focus is on prioritizing "healthy fats" in the American diet, like omega-3 from salmon, and cutting out butter, which is linked to heart disease. That general messaging doesn't sit well with seed oil skeptics, who are mistrustful of the health system and crave clarity on how manufactured food impacts our health. It leaves no room to acknowledge that maybe vegetable oil isn't the greatest ingredient around. Advertisement Bazinet said, while the jury is still out on seed oils, some people may want to take extra precautions. Smokers, who are already under extra inflammatory stress, could perhaps be at elevated risk of health issues from consuming seed oils since their blood won't have as much capacity to oxidize fats. For most people, the same advice you've heard for decades still holds true. Eat a diet rich in whole grains, nuts, and vegetables. These polyphenol powerhouses are dream nutrients for your body. Prioritize olive oil — it's low on omega-6 but high in nonessential omega-9, and great for inflammation and brain health. Routinely add in foods that are rich in omega-3, like chia seeds, flax, or fatty fish. Advertisement Because here's the thing: If you avoid processed foods that are loaded with sugar, calories, and yes, probably have "seed" oil in them too, all nutritionists would consider that a win.

A strict vegetarian diet, alcohol abstinence and behavioural training are among the steps the Uttar Pradesh Police is taking to ensure its personnel act as "servants of faith" and create a pleasant experience for the devotees gathering in this holy city for the Maha Kumbh. The Maha Kumbh will commence on 13 January on the occasion of Paush Purnima and conclude on 26 February on Mahashivratri. Senior superintendent of police (Kumbh) Rajesh Dwivedi emphasised that the primary focus of the police, alongside maintaining security, would be to foster a welcoming environment for the pilgrims. He said, "Our aim is to ensure that the devotees have a pleasant experience, and the police behave with warmth -- not just as enforcers of the law but as servants of faith." Police personnel to be deployed for the Maha Kumbh are undergoing behaviour-focused training at a designated facility within the mela area. External trainers are also being invited to impart lessons in etiquette and public service. So far, 1,500 police personnel have completed the training. By the time the mela commences, 40,000 personnel will have completed the exercise. Atul Kumar Singh, the training programme in-charge, said 700 police personnel were receiving training at a time, following a 21-day module. The duration will gradually come down to 14 days as the mela draws closer, he added. Also Read: Ensure minimum sewage discharge in Ganga, Yamuna before Kumbh Mela: NGT tells UP Personnel such as Satish Kumar Yadav, a head constable from Mathura who will be deployed during the mela, expressed appreciation for the training. "I have learned the importance of courteous behaviour and how to assist the devotees during times of distress. The training also covered topics such as cybercrime prevention," he said. The force is also receiving expert instruction from the National Police Academy. Personnel trained there are now preparing trainers who, in turn, are equipping the larger police contingent for their role at the mela. In addition to behavioural training, the police are also being instructed to maintain the Maha Kumbh's sanctity. District police chief Dwivedi reaffirmed the Maha Kumbh's strict policies regarding food and drink and said non-vegetarian food or alcohol would not be permitted in the mela ground. "The food in the police mess is entirely vegetarian and we have instructed all personnel to act in a manner that respects the devotees' faith," he said. New technologies will also be deployed at the Maha Kumbh this time. An AI chatbot -- Kumbh Sahayak -- is being developed to assist the devotees with information in more than 10 languages via the Bhashini app. This initiative is designed to bridge language barriers and provide instant support to the vast number of devotees. The police will also deploy bilingual personnel and translators to assist non-Hindi speaking devotees. Mounted police on 160-170 horses will assist in crowd control, ensuring safety while maintaining a harmonious atmosphere. With cybercrime on the rise, the personnel were also briefed by domain expert Pawan Kumar. Security measures, including the use of cutting-edge technologies, are being incorporated to ensure both safety and a positive experience for the devotees. In preparing for the Maha Kumbh, the authorities are combining tradition with modern technology, ensuring that this once-in-a-lifetime gathering will be as safe, respectful and efficient as possible.
