Delhi continued to battle with air pollution for the 10th consecutive day post-Diwali as a dense layer of smog blanketed parts of the national capital on Sunday. Several parts of the national capital recorded very poor air quality levels on Sunday morning as per the data issued by the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR-India). Today morning, Anand Vihar recorded an AQI of 351, Bawana 383, CRRI Mathura Road 323, Dwarka Sector 8 at 341, IGI Airport at 326, ITO 328, Lodhi Road 319, Mundka at 358, Najafgarh at 341, New Moti Bagh at 394, Okhla phase-2 at 339, RK Puram at 368, and Wazirpur at 366, as per SAFAR-India data. As of 5 pm on November 10, Delhi's AQI stood at 334, with Anand Vihar at 353, Dilshad Garden at 262, and Jahangirpuri at 377. For tomorrow, AQI in adjoining cities of Noida and Gurugram is forecasted to be at 208.92 and 77.51, respectively. Multiple visuals from Delhi's Kartavya Path showed the area surrounding India Gate engulfed by a layer of smog. The AQI in the area was recorded at 357 as of 7 am. High-rise buildings were also covered in smog in the Kalindi Kunj and surrounding locality, as the AQI was recorded as 323 in the area. An AQI is considered "poor" between '200 and 300', "very poor" at '301 and 400', "severe" at '401-450," and 450 and above is "severe plus." As the air pollution levels in the national capital reach "very poor," doctors say that even people with no history of respiratory diseases are suffering from breathing issues. Dr. Nikhil Modi, Senior Consultant for Respiratory Critical Care at Apollo Hospital, told ANI that apart from the regular patients, those who haven't had any respiratory issues in the past are showing up with symptoms such as runny noses, sneezing, coughing, and having increasing difficulties breathing. As it is, respiratory illnesses in the national capital are estimated to have shot up by around 15-20%. The Apollo doctor further suggested that the government close the schools for children as they remain vulnerable. Whenever the pollution levels have gone beyond a certain limit, the government has opted to close the schools, Dr. Modi said. "For the last few years, we have been seeing that the government has taken action. Whenever this pollution level has gone beyond a certain limit, they have opted to close the schools. This is important because children are from a vulnerable group. As adults, we are masked and can protect ourselves better, but children usually are not that effectively taking these measures. Secondly, their lungs are still in developing stages, so they are bound to have more harm due to this pollution," the doctor told ANI. Siddharth Singhal, Head of Health Insurance, Policybazaar.com, notes that while most standard health plans in India cover pollution-related ailments, it is always advised to also go for an OPD plan along with a health insurance plan to cover consultations, medications, and diagnostic tests that may be required frequently due to pollution. "Pollution levels in Delhi-NCR and some other parts of India have shot up post Diwali. Effects of this are very evident in the form of sore throats and breathing problems, among others. This can also result in respiratory ailments and chronic conditions like asthma, bronchitis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), pneumonia, and severe cases of respiratory or bronchial obstruction. Health insurance becomes critical to cover such expenses. Most policies typically cover emergency hospitalization for respiratory issues like asthma or COPD exacerbations requiring ICU or critical care," he adds.

Layer of smog covers Delhi as air quality remains 'very poor'. Here's why you need an insurance cover for this

Do you know who really have a lot on their minds? Breakdancers. That’s right — these head-spinning, gravity-defying performers often carry more on their scalps than just hair. In fact, one dancer found himself with a literal <keyword id="23520423" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bulge" source="keywords">bulge</keyword> on his head after years of dedicated <keyword id="19921722" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="headspin" source="keywords">headspin</keyword> practice. This condition, known in the breakdancing world as a "<keyword id="23517131" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="headspin-hole" source="Orion">headspin hole</keyword>," has now spun its way into the medical literature, thanks to one unusual and eye-opening case. <h2>What is that bulge?</h2>In a paper a team of doctors shared the story of a man who developed what they called a "<keyword id="23520424" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="breakdance-bulge" source="Orion">breakdance bulge</keyword>" on the top of his head after nearly two decades of practicing headspins. The man, in his early 30s, had spent 19 years perfecting his head spins, dedicating about five days a week to his craft. Of each 1.5-hour session, two to seven minutes were spent directly on headspins — moves that put direct pressure on the crown of his head. As a result, a bulbous lump of tissue had gradually formed, becoming tender to the touch and surrounded by a circular patch of <keyword id="20082522" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="hair-loss" source="keywords">hair loss</keyword>. The bump, which had grown larger over the past five years, became significant enough to interfere with his daily life, prompting him to seek medical advice. <div type="twitter" handle="Rainmaker1973" handlename="Rainmaker1973" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1844711336502018235"></div>"The presence of the lesion and associated discomfort were aesthetically displeasing to the patient," the doctors reported in their case study, "but the protuberance had not hindered the patient from continuing his head-spinning activities." Upon physical examination, doctors found that the skin covering the bump moved easily, suggesting the mass was positioned between the skin and skull. A structural scan of his head confirmed this and revealed that both the skin above and the skull below had thickened around the bump — a probable response to the repeated stress of years of headspins. <h2>A little off the top</h2>During surgery, doctors removed the large lump of fibrous tissue and shaved down the thickened portion of the dancer’s skull to bring it back to a normal width. The patient was pleased with the results. "I have received a lot of positive feedback, and people say it looks well done, that I have a nice scar," he shared. "Many say that they no longer notice that I have a bump and that my head looks completely normal." Although "<keyword id="23520422" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="breakdance" source="keywords">breakdance</keyword> bulge" or "headspin hole" may sound like rare and niche afflictions, these conditions are actually well-known within the breakdancing community. However, they are scarcely documented in medical literature. The limited research that does exist hints that frequent headspins may lead to <keyword id="21087868" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="scalp-issues" source="keywords">scalp issues</keyword>, including hair loss and bumps. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112536415" title="Rumors that Raygun&amp;#39;s husband judged her Olympic qualifier are false. Here&amp;#39;s how the viral Australian breakdancer actually got to Paris." mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>In some cases, the physical trauma and scarring can cause <keyword id="23520425" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="traction-alopecia" source="keywords">traction alopecia</keyword>, which happens when hair follicles are damaged due to repeated pulling at the roots. This was observed in a study from Germany that surveyed 100 breakers: around 60% reported head-related overuse injuries, with 31% experiencing hair loss and 24% developing painless bumps on their heads. Scalp inflammation was present in approximately 37% of these cases. While headspin-induced bumps are mostly considered aesthetic issues by doctors, the risks for breakdancers may extend beyond the cosmetic. There is some evidence linking headspins to a higher likelihood of developing lichen planopilaris, an inflammatory condition in which immune cells attack hair follicles, leading to bald patches. Nonetheless, as the dancer in this case proved, the passion for breaking can spin strong enough to overshadow the small sacrifices that come with it. For <keyword id="22569945" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="b-boys" source="keywords">b-boys</keyword> and <keyword id="22726237" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="b-girls" source="keywords">b-girls</keyword> around the world, a little "breakdance bulge" might just be another sign of a life spent defying gravity.

Well-known for its liberal politics, California has often drawn the ire of Republican politicians and some pro-business billionaires such as <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-trump-calls-zelenskyy-erdogan-influence-2024-11">Elon Musk</a>.

Around 70% voted in favor of the proposition as of Friday.Voters also rejected a proposition giving local governments more power to enact rent control, with 61% voting against it. Landlords, realtors, and some pro-housing groups opposed the measure, but the California Democratic Party, tenant groups, and some unions supported it.Though the races had not been called as of Friday, voters in California seemed poised to reject two propositions supported by liberal groups: raising the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/map-minimum-wage-by-state-pay-going-up-with-election-2024-11">state's minimum wage</a> and outlawing forced labor in prisons.California voters did, however, vote to enshrine a state constitutional right to marry regardless of sex or race and to issue bonds for natural resource conservation.<div type="image" title="Trump supporters on boat" height="4000" width="6000" msid="115102539" hostid="261" sizebytes="1062486"></div><h2 id="e1f2d128-5fc2-4452-8447-b2901f265897">Local races also suggested a move to the middle</h2>Incumbent San Francisco Mayor <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/san-francisco-opinion-elon-musk-x-relocation-texas-california-2024-8">London Breed</a> lost reelection to Daniel Lurie, a moderate Democrat and political outsider.

A survey by the Public Policy Institute of California said the number of registered Democrats this year was about the same as 2020, while the share of registered Republicans increased by a few hundred thousand.Though the share of Californians switching parties from Democrat to Republican was small, the PPIC found it was most common among Black, Latino, and younger voters — all <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-2024-election-win-5-stats-to-explain-result-2024-11">groups Trump picked up support</a> with in other places as well.California is still tallying its votes, so exactly how much the presidential vote changed from 2020 to 2024 is unclear. As of Friday, with around 63% of the vote counted, it appeared some inland counties were poised to flip from blue to red.Other blue states with a greater share of their vote counted as of Friday also showed a consistent trend to the right.Harris easily won Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Maryland — but by significantly smaller margins than President Joe Biden won them by in 2020.

California took a surprisingly red turn on key issues, upending its ultraliberal reputation

That's leading to bigger questions about how quickly <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-orion-model-scaling-law-silicon-valley-chatgpt-2024-11">we can expect future generative-AI models to keep getting better</a>, writes Business Insider's Hasan Chowdhury and Beatrice Nolan.Some OpenAI employees who have used and tested Orion told The Information its improvements are only moderate and smaller than what users saw going from GPT-3 to GPT-4.It's an astounding revelation when you consider the stakes. OpenAI is considered the leading AI company, and we're learning that its most important new product may not be that much better than something it released about 20 months ago — a lifetime in the AI industry.It also undermines a core assumption about the future of generative AI: If you add more data and computing power, you get smarter and more powerful AI models. This "scaling law" is the consensus view now, yet OpenAI is reportedly struggling with it.Top AI players have eye-popping valuations based on the promise that AI models will keep getting smarter and better with time. If that growth trajectory slows, it could lead to difficult questions, particularly from investors bankrolling the hundreds of billions of dollars companies are pouring into these projects.<div type="image" title="An eye in the center while abstract swirls, numbers and chat bubbles surround it" height="1080" width="2160" msid="115221987" hostid="261" sizebytes="520698"></div>So what's holding AI models back from making another big jump?AI models are already burning through text, with one estimate predicting they'll run out of material by 2028. Companies are trying to circumvent the issue with synthetic data, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-synthetic-data-industry-debate-over-fake-2024-8">but that might not be a viable solution</a>.Using more computing also comes with limitations and has the added hurdle of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-data-centers-delays-costs-power-labor-shortages-aws-ai-2024-10">needing significant power</a>. The biggest companies in the world are struggling to find cost-efficient energy sources for the massive data centers they're building as part of their AI strategy.There was always an expectation that things might slow down a bit. In July, one OpenAI customer told BI he thought the newest iteration <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-gpt5-gpt4-expectations-ai-2024-7">would be like going from undergrad to a PhD program</a>, as opposed to the jump from GPT-3 to GPT-4, which was like "grade school to undergrad."More resources can help address those issues to a degree, but the improvements still might not mirror what we saw in the early days of generative AI. If that's the case, investors might be unwilling to open their wallets for something they view as having diminishing returns.Even if they shell out the cash, companies will likely price their products accordingly to recoup those investments. That's a tricky proposition, as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/for-ai-models-good-enough-is-good-enough-2024-5">"good enough" is fine for plenty of users</a>.<h3 id="77f31a4c-8462-4e3d-a71f-838cb79493fb">News brief</h3><h2 id="1fcd294b-3f53-425f-9f20-4093e8623b59">Top headlines</h2><ul><li>New York Times tech workers are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-new-york-times-tech-workers-ending-their-labor-strike-2024-11">ending their strike</a>.</li><li>Anthony Scaramucci tells BI Trump's economic plans could cause a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-market-crash-risk-outlook-trump-deportation-tariff-anthony-scaramucci-2024-11">1920s-style stock-market crash</a>.</li><li>Bitcoin hits fresh record near $85,000 as investors keep <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/bitcoin-record-price-outlook-crypto-trump-election-digital-assets-altcoins-2024-11">cheering 'crypto president' Trump</a>.</li><li>The winners of Wall Street bonus season this year: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wall-street-bonus-season-alan-johnson-associates-report-underwriters-2024-11">the underwriters</a>.</li></ul><h2 id="8120060b-ae66-48dc-b149-f0489a30ffa2">3 things in markets</h2><div type="image" title="Dice with the faces of Trump, Musk, RFK, and Zelensky" height="1500" width="2000" msid="115221989" hostid="261" sizebytes="103426"></div><ol><li>Betting markets are taking their victory lap and already thinking about what's next.
