National Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day
- National Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day began as a creative idea from the folks at the Personal Computer Museum in Ontario, Canada, back in 2010.
- The day was designed to encourage people to tidy up their virtual desktops, bringing them back to the clean and organized state they were in when their computers were first turned on.
- The idea is simple but powerful: a clean virtual desktop can signify an organized mind, someone who has their work and tools well-managed and knows how to use them effectively.

Rachin stars as Kiwis hand India a rare home defeat
- Jasprit Bumrah pushed and probed the New Zealand batters under overcast conditions. Morale was high when skipper Tom Latham was sent back in the first over.
- But at the end of the day, India did not have enough runs to play with. Once the testing early overs passed, New Zealand was in the driver’s seat. Riding on an unbeaten 75-run third-wicket stand between Will Young (48 n.o., 76b, 7×4, 1×6) and Rachin Ravindra (39 n.o., 46b, 6×4), the Kiwis reached the 107-run target in the first Test with eight wickets to spare. This was New Zealand’s first Test win on Indian soil since 1988.

What do the Atlantic Ocean hurricane forecasts foretell for India?
- Meteorologists had previously forecast a historic hurricane season for 2024 based on the expectation that a strong La Niña would emerge this winter. But while the hurricanes Helene and Milton may seem consistent with this forecast, 2024 has evolved to be a year with a summer with no major hurricanes.
- One important reason is that the strong La Niña has played truant thus far. In fact, weather agencies are currently downgrading their La Niña forecasts.
- The 2023 hurricane season was history’s fourth-most active despite the strong El Niño that year. Meteorologists expect a subdued hurricane season during an El Niño and an earnest one during a La Niña.
