Monetary policy is at work. Substantial disinflation has been achieved, but the road to be travelled stretches ahead till inflation declines to the target of 4 per cent, said an article published in <keyword id="30067" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="rbi" source="Orion">RBI</keyword>'s latest <keyword id="6427045" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="bulletin" source="Orion">Bulletin</keyword>. The government has mandated the <keyword id="6354335" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="reserve-bank-of-india" source="Orion">Reserve Bank of India</keyword> (RBI) to ensure retail inflation based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) remains at 4 per cent with a margin of 2 per cent on either side. Inflation during January-February 2023 exceeded the upper tolerance limit of 6 per cent after a transitory respite during November-December 2022. The central bank, which effected six back-to-back hikes in the key short-term lending rate (repo) since May 2022 to check high inflation, decided to pause early this month. The cumulative rate hike since May 2022 is 250 basis points. The retail inflation in March fell to a 15-month low of 5.66 per cent and came back to the <keyword id="50847" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="reserve-bank" source="Orion">Reserve Bank</keyword>'s comfort level of 6 per cent. The article authored by a team led by RBI Deputy Governor Michael Debabrata Patra noted that the global economic conditions are beset by heightened uncertainty as financial conditions remain volatile and financial markets are on edge. In <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>, aggregate demand conditions remain resilient, supported by a rebound in contact-intensive services. Expectations of a bumper rabi harvest, the fiscal thrust on infrastructure, and the revival in corporate investment in select sectors augur well for the economy, it said. "Monetary policy is at work. Substantial disinflation has been achieved, but the road to be travelled stretches ahead till inflation is at or close to the target of 4 per cent," said the article titled 'State of the Economy' published in RBI Bulletin April 2023. In response to monetary policy actions and supply-side measures, the authors said headline CPI inflation has gradually declined from its peak of 7.8 per cent in April 2022 to 5.7 per cent in March 2023 and is projected to ease further to 5.2 per cent in the January-March quarter 2023-24. The article further said that in time, enduring price and financial stability will strengthen the foundations of the economy and provide a fillip to growth. Central banks across the world that are invested with dual mandates are at a fork in their course. The RBI has taken the road that is less travelled by, balancing and calibrating both actions and pace, the article said.

Over the period 2021-24, gross domestic product (GDP) growth has averaged above 8 per cent. The global economy is losing steam, with growth slowing in some of the most resilient economies and high frequency indicators, pointing to further levelling in the period ahead, said the article authored by a team led by <keyword id="19899808" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rbi" source="keywords">RBI</keyword> Deputy Governor <keyword id="20244361" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="michael-debabrata-patra" source="keywords">Michael Debabrata Patra</keyword>. In India, real GDP growth was at a six-quarter high in the October-December period of 2023-24, powered by strong momentum, robust indirect taxes, and lower subsidies. The high visibility of structural demand and healthier corporate and bank balance sheets will likely be the galvanising forces for growth going forward. "The world is confronted with large shifts in structure and sentiments, which are either underway or impending," it said. The article noted that the outlook is shrouded with layers of uncertainty, exacerbated by geopolitical and extreme weather risks as well as fragmenting forces. By contrast, it said the Indian economy is experiencing a conducive macroeconomic configuration that can be its launching pad for a step-up in its growth trajectory. "Over the period 2021-24, growth has averaged above 8 per cent; and the underlying fundamentals indicate that this can be sustained and even built upon," the authors said. The current account deficit is modest, external buffers are resilient and fiscal consolidation is into its third consecutive year even as corporations are deleveraging and improving their debt servicing capacity. According to the article, balance sheets in the financial sector are sound and healthy, providing the wherewithal for intermediating the productive credit needs of a resurgent economy. "Financial markets are reflecting these favourable formations. Capital inflows have resumed strongly as investor interest floods back into India," it said. The authors further said technology is offering new growth opportunities to seize by becoming more competitive and efficient. "The time has come to build world class infrastructure, strong manufacturing bases, a high-quality labour force and global leadership in services to convert these favourable factors into opportunities and strengths over the next few decades," they added. The article further said the aggregate demand in the third quarter of 2023-24 was investment-driven, with some indications of a revival of the private capex cycle. Capacity utilisation in several sectors has reached a point where there has to be new investments. "The current financial year will likely see the highest ever length of four-lane roads being constructed, along with the highest ever length of speed or access-controlled highways -- on course to create a world-class road network by 2037," it said. It also noted that the demand outlook for premium consumer businesses is robust and the growth rhythm is expected to persist into the medium-term. This suggests that there are significant per capita income shifts underway, it said, adding that small town opportunities are leading to growth of business across lifestyle segments, with companies that entered these markets enjoying the fruits of being first movers.

<keyword id="399907" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="meta" source="Orion">Meta</keyword> has announced to shut down its newsletter product called Bulletin for creators and writers by early 2023. Meta said it will refocus resources from Bulletin to work on its discovery algorithm, that the company is building to take on Chinese short-form video <keyword id="6762469" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tiktok" source="Orion">TikTok</keyword>. In June 2021, the company launched Bulletin, a set of publishing and subscription tools to support creators in the US. A meta spokesperson told TechCrunch that while this off-platform product itself is ending, "we remain committed to supporting these and other Creators' success and growth on our platform." Bulletin writers will continue to earn subscription revenue until the platform shuts down by early 2023. The move comes as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has put a freeze on hirings, cut costs and restructure some groups within the company. Through Bulletin, Meta wanted to support creators, and unify its existing tools with something that could more directly support great writing and audio content from podcasts to Live Audio Rooms all in one place. Facebook had announced to roll out new investments, products and services aimed to support more independent writers and experts. Bulletin writers were set to get an opportunity to foster deeper connections with their audiences on Facebook.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Google Bulletin</div></div></div><ul><li>Google on Friday launched a new service called "Bulletin," which lets people publish stories with text, tags, photos, and video, directly to the web through its own application.</li><li>The idea is for people to contribute "hyperlocal stories about your community, for your community, right from your phone.

But while Bulletin is designed to help personalize the Google News experience, it could be a risky move for a company already fighting the "fake news" battle.<a href="https://posts.google.com/bulletin/share">Google's new Bulletin service</a> allows any user with a smartphone and the application to publish text accompanied by tags, images, and video "without having to create a blog or build a website."The stories published through the application come up on Google search and can be shared just like any other link. It's similar to the neighborhood social network <a href="https://nextdoor.com/">Nextdoor</a>, except without the vetting process, since Google wants to limit the setup process."With Bulletin you can contribute to local stories and be the voice of your community!" the website reads.Interestingly, the app is only available in Nashville, Tennessee and Oakland, California right now - and people must request early access, according to the website.One Reddit user responded to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/7t22m3/google_launches_a_new_product_called_bulletin_an/">the Bulletin Google Post</a> showcasing <a href="https://posts.google.com/bulletin/share/uAjrT6kF/">hers</a> as an example:<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Google BulletinHere's what a Reddit user's "Bulletin" looks like.</div></div></div>In the last year, Google came under <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/las-vegas-shooting-mandalay-bay-facebook-twitter-google-2017-10">a lot of scrutiny</a> for spreading misinformation by pushing fake-news stories to the top of its search algorithm.Google has said it's working to improve its algorithm to proliferate verified news, so it'll be interesting to see how this new tool plays into that plan. As of Friday afternoon, <a href="https://support.google.com/news/answer/7557578">the published guidelines</a> for the Bulletin community don't appear to set a precedent for content accuracy.Google has positioned Bulletin as a follow-up to both the 2017 <a href="https://www.blog.google/topics/journalism-news/redesigning-google-news-everyone/">Google News redesign</a> that promised better navigation for news specific to individual users, and the <a href="https://www.blog.google/topics/journalism-news/ending-fomo-community-updates/">Community Updates</a> tool that focuses on local news, but these updates both aggregated existing articles. "Bulletin is an experimental app that gives people an easy way to tell stories about what is going on around them - ranging from local bookstore readings to high school sporting events to information about local street closures," Google spokesperson Maggie Shiels told Business Insider. "We are excited to see how people use the app during this pilot phase." No further information was provided on how Google plans to parse through content for misinformation when Bulletin grows beyond the publishers it's currently working with at launch, or when the app is expected to be available outside of those two cities.

Kyle Myers, or "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/fpsrussia">FPS Russia</a>" to his 4 million YouTube fans, recently showed up in an official FBI bulletin about extremist threats. Myers is well-known for speaking in a Russian accent while shooting big <keyword id="6371465" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="guns">guns</keyword> and making bigger explosions in videos he produces.
The March 5 <a href="http://info.publicintelligence.net/FBI-ExplodingTargets.pdf">intelligence bulletin</a> obtained by Public Intelligence, was sent out to law enforcement agencies to warn of exploding targets being potentially used in improvised explosive devices (IED).
"The FBI assesses with high confidence recreationally used exploding targets ... can be used as an explosive for illicit purposes by criminals and extremists and explosive precursor chemicals (EPCs) present in ETs [and] can be combined with other materials to manufacture explosives for use in improvised explosive devices (IEDs)," the bulletin <a href="http://info.publicintelligence.net/FBI-ExplodingTargets.pdf">reads</a>.
On page two of the bulletin, a screenshot from one of <a href="http://youtu.be/sqq2abXXAvA?t=1m50s">Myers' videos</a> is shown as an example. He was not referenced by name.
Exploding targets — or tannerite — are legal and often used by recreational firearms enthusiasts for spotting whether they hit a target at a long distance. Unlike black powder, the substance is not flammable and can <a href="http://www.tannerite.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/US-Patent-And-Trademark-Office-Tannerite.pdf">only explode</a> from a rifle shot. 
Not so, according to the FBI bulletin:
"Currently, [explosive targets] contain ammonium nitrate, and their purchase is not regulated to the same degree as ammonium nitrate-containing fertilizers ... criminals and extremists remain interested in using improvised ammonium nitrate-based explosives as the main charge in IEDs and are actively seeking new ways to acquire sufficient amounts of ammonium nitrate."
Not long after this bulletin was issued, Myers' home and his father's farm <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/atf-raids-professional-russian-fpsrussia-2013-3">were raided by</a> nearly 40 agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) looking for explosives on March 26.
No arrests were made, and a spokesman was unsure whether any explosives had been seized.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">Business Insider; ShutterstockThe Doomsday Clock is now at 2 minutes 30 seconds to midnight.</div></div></div>A group of eminent scientists behind the "Doomsday Clock" has symbolically moved its time an unprecedented 30 seconds closer to midnight.The clock, a symbol created at the dawn of the Cold War in 1945, comes from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a group founded by scientists who helped build the first nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project.The Bulletin began publicly adjusting the clock to reflect shifting threats to the world since 1947.On the 70th anniversary of that annual display, members moved the clock from three minutes to midnight - where it remained for a couple of years - half a minute closer to an apocalypse, according to <a href="http://thebulletin.org/clock/2017">a brief statement</a>."It is two and a half minutes to midnight, the Clock is ticking, global danger looms," the statement said. "Wise public officials should act immediately, guiding humanity away from the brink. If they do not, wise citizens must step forward and lead the way."The clock's movements initially focused on the threat of global nuclear warfare, but in the past decade incorporated other long-term threats to all of humanity, including <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-rhetoric-on-climate-change-not-the-greatest-threat-2016-12">climate change</a>.The organization released <a href="http://thebulletin.org/sites/default/files/Final%202017%20Clock%20Statement.pdf">a full statement</a> detailing its reasons for the symbolic and alarming gesture. It cites many causes, but prominently states President Donald Trump's <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-nuclear-weapons-expansion-risk-2017-1">rhetoric about expanding US nuclear weapons armaments</a>, and North Korea's continued work towards developing nuclear warheads and the means to fire them.Here are three key paragraphs from the statement describing the Bulletin's rationale:"The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists <keyword id="41551" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="science">Science</keyword> and Security Board takes a broad and international view of existential threats to humanity, focusing on long-term trends. Because of that perspective, the statements of a single person-particularly one not yet in office-have not historically influenced the board's decision on the setting of the Doomsday Clock."But wavering public confidence in the democratic institutions required to deal with major world threats do affect the board's decisions. And this year, events surrounding the US presidential campaign-including cyber offensives and deception campaigns apparently directed by the Russian government and aimed at disrupting the US election-have brought American democracy and Russian intentions into question and thereby made the world more dangerous than was the case a year ago."For these reasons, the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has decided to move the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock 30 seconds closer to catastrophe. It is now two minutes and 30 seconds to midnight. The board's decision to move the clock less than a full minute-something it has never before done- reflects a simple reality: As this statement is issued, Donald Trump has been the US president only a matter of days. Many of his cabinet nominations are not yet confirmed by the Senate or installed in government, and he has had little time to take official action."Here's how scientists have shifted the clock's time since its creation in 1947 through 2015:<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Doomsday_Clock_graph.svg">Fastfission/Wikipedia (public domain)</a></div></div></div>The only time that the clock was any closer to midnight was in 1959, when it was last held at 2 minutes.The Doomsday Clock is not without its critics. In <a href="http://thebreakthrough.org/index.php/journal/past-issues/issue-5/fear-and-time">a piece published at The Breakthrough in 2015</a>, writer Will Boisvert has argued that the symbology may be counter-productive to actually solving the problems the Bulletin hopes to spur action on:"Apocalypticism can systematically distort our understanding of risk, mesmerizing us with sensational scenarios that distract us from mundane risks that are objectively larger. Worse, it can block rather than galvanize efforts to solve global problems. By treating risks as infinite, doom-saying makes it harder to take their measure - to prioritize them, balance them against benefits, or countenance smaller ones to mitigate larger ones. The result can be paralysis[.]"You can watch a C-SPAN video of members of the Bulletin <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?422784-1/bulletin-atomic-scientists-announces-doomsday-clock-adjustment">announcing their Doomsday Clock decision</a> at the National Press Club in Washington, DC here. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/molten-salt-reactor-technology-power-world-millions-years-2016-12">This Cold War-era technology could safely power the world for millions of years</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="hoOXhiODE6mtYAnzOSgYhFwj_jwPpGtb" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

It was carrying three pilots, an engineer, a loadmaster, six cabin crew, as well as nine passengers, and was scheduled for a multi-day charter, the bulletin said.But shortly after takeoff, several passengers noticed that the aircraft cabin seemed both colder and noisier than usual, according to the bulletin.The plane continued to climb to an altitude of 10,000 feet and the seatbelt signs were switched off, according to the bulletin.It was at this point that the loadmaster walked toward the back of the plane and noticed a significant increase in cabin noise, it said, with the noise "loud enough to damage your hearing."The loadmaster also noticed that the window seal on a window on the left side of the plane was "flapping in the airflow," the bulletin said.The flight crew decided to stop the plane's climb at 14,000 feet and reduce airspeed, despite no "abnormal indications" on the flight deck and normal operations of the aircraft's pressurization system, per the bulletin.An engineer and a pilot were then dispatched to take a look, it said.It was agreed that the aircraft should return to Stansted, and the plane landed 36 minutes after taking off, the bulletin said.Once parked, the cabin crew inspected the plane and discovered that two window assemblies — the inner and outer panes and rubber seal — were missing, the bulletin said.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/plane-stansted-airport-missing-windows-accident-takeoff-b2443042.html">According to The Independent</a>, the only thing in place was the scratch pane, a piece of plastic that prevents passengers from touching the outer window.The inner pane and seal from a third window had also been displaced, the AAIB said.It added that the day before the flight, the plane had been used during a filming event where high-power lights were active for up to five-and-a-half hours.Thermal damage and window deformation were subsequently observed in the area around the overwing emergency exit, which the AAIB attributed to extended exposure to elevated temperatures.The AAIB said in the bulletin that the incident could have had far "more serious" consequences."Whereas in this case the damage became apparent at around FL100 [10,000 feet] and the flight was concluded uneventfully, a different level of damage by the same means might have resulted in more serious consequences," it said.It's now working with the plane's manufacturer and operator to fully understand the properties of the lights used, and how to mitigate risks in the future, according to the bulletin.The AAIB did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Guardians Of Peace, the hacker group that attacked Sony Pictures, has resurfaced, reportedly threatening a news organisation.
<a href="https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/12/31/sony-hackers-threaten-u-s-news-media-organization/">The Intercept has published an FBI bulletin that claims the Guardians of Peace have found a new target</a>, and may go on to attack other companies "in the near future."
FBI bulletins are sent out to warn companies about possible threats that they could face. The bulletin publishes by The Intercept doesn't actually name Sony, instead assigning it a codeword. But the bulletin does make it clear that the hackers have moved on to threaten a news organisation.
The last we heard from the hackers was on December 20 when they posted a message on PasteBin mocking the FBI's investigation, branding the agency "idiots" in a YouTube video.

The FBI referenced the "idiot" post, but the Dec. 24 bulletin also says that the hackers have posted further threats targeted at a news organisation.

The FBI Warns That The Sony Hackers Have Returned And Could Hack More Companies

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div>In case you missed it, the newest bizarre and dangerous teen trend has been spreading like fire - literally. Teens have been <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/teens-light-themselves-on-fire-for-fame-2014-7">self-immolating to gain social media attention</a> using the hashtag #FireChallenge.
It's gotten so bad that the New Jersey Division of Fire Safety has now issued an emergency bulletin to warn firefighters about the "Fire Challenge," <a href="http://betabeat.com/2014/08/new-jersey-issues-emergency-bulletin-over-idiotic-fire-challenge-trend/">according to BetaBeat</a>.
The <a href="http://www.state.nj.us/dca/news/news/2014/approved/20140813.html">bulletin</a> was issued on August 13 to better prepare local fire corps in case they encounter the challenge in their community. In case they didn't already have enough to worry about.
While teens may think the challenge is all fun and games, setting yourself on fire can result in real damage.
One 15-year-old in Lexington, Ky., reportedly <a href="http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/2014/07/28/teen-severely-burned-after-setting-himself-ablaze-for-facebook-fire-challenge/">suffered second-degree burns</a> after torching his torso for the challenge.
"The most serious and possibly fatal result of the stunt is that the person, by the very act of breathing, will inevitably inhale the burning fluid deep within the lungs, causing serious and debilitating injury, and in one documented case in New York State, death," state fire marshal William Kramer, Jr., acting director of New Jersey's division of fire safety, said in the bulletin. "We wanted our first responders to be aware of what they may be called on to deal with."
