Summer Zervos, (R) a former contestant on "The Apprentice" arrives with lawyer Gloria Allred at the New York County Criminal Court on December 5, 2017, in New York. Trump's most recent appeal of the case argued that, under the U.S. Constitution, state courts are not authorized to hear cases against a sitting president. State courts may not "exercise any control (i.e., jurisdiction) over the President while he or she is in office," Trump's lawyers said in a court filing last May. In February, Zervos' lawyers asked the appeals court to dismiss Trump's appeal, saying the now-former president wouldn't fight them on it, the Associated Press reported. "Motion to dismiss appeal granted and appeal dismissed, without costs, upon the ground that the issues presented have become moot," it said.

Tears, thanks and surprise over Harvey Weinstein's 23-year sentence
(Reuters) - Harvey Weinsteins 23-year jail sentence for rape and sexual assault was greeted with tears, delight and surprise on Wednesday, particularly from some of the scores of women who have accused him of sexual misconduct dating back decades. Sorvino is one of a group of 24 Weinstein accusers called the Silence Breakers that also includes Ashley Judd, Rosanna Arquette and Rose McGowan. In the end, he got more than double the 3-10 year sentence handed down to comedian Bill Cosby in 2018 for sexual assault. Thank you for changing the future for us all, actress Ellen Barkin wrote on Twitter. Actress Jodie Turner-Smith, the star of the independent film Queen & Slim, wrote on Twitter: 23 years in prison for Harvey Weinstein.

Harvey Weinstein breaks courtroom silence, claims "men are losing due process" as he is sentenced
Harvey Weinstein pleaded for mercy and attempted to explain himself before he was sentenced Wednesday to 23 years in prison, breaking the silence he maintained in the Manhattan courtroom throughout his trial. Harvey Weinstein, center, flanked by his defense attorneys, listens during his sentencing in a Manhattan courtroom, Wednesday, March 11, 2020. At Weinstein's trial, too, prosecutors sought to prove Weinstein had a pattern of assaulting women by calling accusers whose claims could not be prosecuted under state statutes of limitations. Harvey Weinstein witness says guilty verdict was "a huge relief"She asked Judge James Burke to impose "whatever sentence is long enough for Harvey Weinstein to acknowledge what he's done to me and to others and to be truly sorry." Attorney Gloria Allred holds a sign as she meets the press after Harvey Weinstein's sentencing March 11 in New York.
Weinstein stir crazy at New York hospital days after sex crimes conviction, spokesman says
(Reuters) - Harvey Weinstein is sitting under guard in a cinderblock room at a New York City hospital days after his conviction for sexual assault and rape, and at times can go stir crazy just staring at the emptiness, according to a spokesman. FILE PHOTO: Harvey Weinstein arrives at New York Criminal Court for another day of jury deliberations in his sexual assault trial in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York, U.S., February 24, 2020. His conviction was a milestone for the #MeToo movement, which inspired women to accuse hundreds of powerful men of sexual misconduct. Weinstein is allowed to make limited phone calls from a common area, the former producers spokesman said. He has denied the accusations, said any sexual encounters were consensual, and has said he will appeal his conviction.
Harvey Weinstein witness Miriam Haley says guilty verdict was "a huge relief"
Harvey Weinstein will face a sentence of up to 29 years in prison thanks, in part, to the testimony of Miriam Haley. Haley told "CBS This Morning" she was relieved by the guilty verdict. Until the verdict was announced, Haley said she didn't know if Weinstein would be convicted. I don't know," Allred said. Ultimately, Allred said, the guilty verdict against Weinstein means no one is beyond consequences for violence against women.
Ginsburg, in book, questions confidential #MeToo agreements
PHILADELPHIA, PA A new book on Ruth Bader Ginsburg explores the Supreme Court justice's thoughts on the #MeToo movement and her hope that non-disclosure agreements, which have come under fire in sexual misconduct cases, "will not be enforced by the courts." In "Conversations with RBG: Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Life, Love, Liberty, and Law," the 86-year-old feminist icon questions whether the #MeToo movement will render the secrecy clause obsolete in such cases. Some lawyers who represent women today in sexual misconduct cases, including Debra Katz and Gloria Allred, pushed back on Ginsburg's view of the non-disclosure agreements, known as "NDAs." At least two states, New York and California, have placed limits on the use of NDAs in sexual misconduct cases since the #MeToo movement took off in 2017. Ginsburg, in a 2018 conversation recounted in the book, said she expects the #MeToo movement to have staying power, and any backlash to be limited.

Court filing: Zervos shared Trump allegations with lawyers in 2011
(CNN) - Summer Zervos, the former "Apprentice" contestant who has accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her in 2007, presented evidence Thursday in a new court filing to back up her claims. Zervos contacted lawyers about the allegations in 2011 and reached out to Fox News about the matter in August 2015, according to a new filing from her lawyers. She also "reached out to multiple lawyers back in 2011, including to Gloria Allred, whose records reflect that contact," Wang writes. The Trump Organization previously declared these documents "confidential" and only after months of legal wrangling and a recent telephone conference with the court did Trump and the Trump Organization "finally and begrudgingly agreed to lift a number of these baseless designations," according to the filing. Wang says the Trump Organization has improperly designated nine pages of records as "confidential" because they contain the President's former cell phone number.

Q: Proof involving generating sets of groups I need to prove the following:

Let $G$ be a group, generated by the elements $g_1, \ldots ,g_n $. In other words, a subgroup $\langle g_1, \ldots, g_n \rangle$ consists of all different possible products of the form:
$$g_{i_1}^{l_1}g_{i_2}^{l_2}\cdots g_{i_k}^{l_k},$$
where $g_{i_j}\in \{g_1,\ldots g_n\}$ and $l_i \in \mathbb{Z} $. A group $G$ is $n$-generated, if there exist $n$ elements $g_1 ,\ldots,g_n \in G $, so that $\langle g_1,\ldots,g_n \rangle = G $.
a) Let $g_1,\ldots,g_k \in G$ be nontrivial elements of group $G$ and let $g_{k+1} \in G$ be an element, such that $g_{k+1}\notin \langle g_1, \ldots, g_k\rangle$. Show that:
$$\langle g_1, \ldots,g_k\rangle \leq \langle g_1,\ldots, g_k,g_{k+1}\rangle \space \space \text{  and  } \space \space  |\langle g_1,\ldots, g_k, g_{k+1}\rangle |\geq 2|\langle g_1,\ldots, g_k \rangle |.$$
b) Let $G$ be a finite group of order $n$. Show that $G$ is $k$-generated, where $k \leq \log_2(n)$ .

My attempt:
a) Def. A subset $H \subset G$  is a subgroup of $G$, if $H$ forms a group for the binary (group) operation defined on $G$.
Both $\langle g_1,\ldots g_k\rangle=G_k$ and $\langle g_1,\ldots g_k,g_{k+1}\rangle=G_{k+1}$ (already) form groups, so all we need to show here is that $\langle g_1,\ldots g_k\rangle \subset\langle g_1,\ldots g_k, g_{k+1}\rangle$. But this is clearly the case, since if we take an element $g \in \langle g_1,\ldots g_k, g_{k+1}\rangle$ of the form $g=\ldots g_{k}^{l_k}  g_{k+1} ^{l_{k+1}}$, then $g \in \langle g_1,\ldots g_k, g_{k+1}\rangle $ but $g \notin\langle g_1,\ldots g_k\rangle$.
Because if $g\in \langle g_1,\ldots g_k\rangle$ this would imply that $g_{k+1}\in \langle g_1,\ldots g_k\rangle$, since $\langle g_1,\ldots g_k\rangle$ forms a group and needs to be closed under the group operation. This contradicts $g_{k+1} \notin \langle g_1,\ldots g_k\rangle $. So we have $\langle g_1,\ldots g_k\rangle \subset\langle g_1,\ldots g_k, g_{k+1}\rangle$ and $\langle g_1,\ldots g_k\rangle \leq \langle g_1,\ldots g_k,g_{k+1}\rangle$.
For the second part: $| G_{k+1}= \langle g_1,\ldots, g_k, g_{k+1} \rangle | \geq 2 |G_k= \langle g_1,\ldots, g_k \rangle |$, we know from Lagrange's theorem that for the number of right cosets of $G_{k}$ in $G_{k+1}$, i.e. $|G_{k+1}:G_k|=|G_{k+1}|/|G_k|\in \mathbb{N}$.
Since clearly $|G_{k+1}|\neq |G_k|$ and (consequently) $|G_{k+1}|/|G_k|\neq 1$, we mush have $|G_{k+1}|/|G_k|\geq2$.

b) Here we form a chain of subgroups $1=G_0<G_1<\ldots<G_k$, so that $G_i=\langle g_1, \ldots g_i\rangle$. We now use the above argument that $|G_i:G_{i-1}|=|G_i|/|G_{i-1}|\geq 2$ iteratively:
$$|G_k| \geq 2 |G_{k-1}|$$
$$\vdots$$
$$|G_1|\geq 2 |G_0|,$$ or in other words: $|G_k| \geq 2^k |G_0|=2^k $. Now $|G_k|=n$ and taking the logarithm of the last equation we get: $\log_2(n)\geq k$.
My question:

Is my reasoning here ok? Did I miss some steps in the proofs? Maybe someone can suggest a more compact way to prove this.

is at most $n^{n^2}$ (see answer below)

The uterus is a hollow central supporting organ of the pelvic anatomy and pear-shaped internal genitalia.
Female Reproductive Tract: The uterus.
The female reproductive tract consists of the uterus, which is a pear-shaped, thick-walled, muscular organ located in the center of the pelvis, behind the bladder, and in front of the rectum. In fact, the uterus contains some of the strongest muscles in the female body. At the bottom of the uterus is the cervix, which is continuously connected to the vagina. [Sources: 2, 5, 8, 9]
Female Reproductive Tract: The vagina.
Below the cervix is the vagina, and which is a flexible tubular structure that connects the internal and external reproductive organs. So the vagina is a muscular hollow tube that extends from the vaginal opening to the uterus. Also, we can describe the vagina as a fibromuscular tube that extends from the vulva to the uterus and is inclined at an angle of about 60° to the upward and backward horizontal lines. The vulva is located between the legs and covers the opening of the vagina and other reproductive organs of the body. [Sources: 8, 9, 15]
Female Reproductive Tract: The openings for the urethra
Between the lips are openings for the urethra (the channel through which urine from the bladder flows out of the body) and the vagina. They are located inside the labia majora which surrounds the vagina, which is the canal that connects the lower uterus to the outside of the body, and the urethra (the tube that drains urine from the bladder outside the bladder). In other words, the labia majora forms the inner protective layer of the female genitals.[Sources: 1, 8, 9]
They attach to the uterus through the ovarian ligaments and to the broad ligament through the mesovarium, which is the peritoneal ligament [6].
Female Reproductive System: The ovaries
The ovaries are two oval-shaped organs located in the upper right and left corner of the uterus. The ovaries' main functions are the production of eggs and sex hormones. Most women have two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. At birth, the two ovaries contain about 700,000 oocytes, which are immature eggs. [Sources: 8, 9, 15]
Reproductive Hormones.
Hormones stimulate the growth of approximately 15-20 eggs in the ovaries. Each egg has its own "shell" called a follicle. Also, these hormones (FSH and LH) also cause an increase in the production of the female hormone estrogen. The secretion of these hormones enables girls to grow into sexually mature women. [Sources: 1, 8]
Women of reproductive age which means between 11 to 16 years old and up experience cycles of hormonal activity that repeat at approximately one-month intervals. As a result with each cycle, a woman's body prepares for a potential pregnancy, whether or not she intends to. [Sources: 1, 6].
In humans, the female reproductive system is immature at birth and matures during puberty. Then becomes capable of producing gametes and conceiving fetuses before term. The female reproductive tract is composed of internal and external reproductive organs, which play a role in the reproduction of new offspring. The uterus or uterus is an important female reproductive organ that responds to hormones in most mammals including humans. [Sources: 12, 16]
The reproductive system and the impact on general health.
The reproductive organs also have a significant impact on other aspects of health. For example, the ovaries produce hormones that affect bone density, cholesterol levels, heart health, and mood. The female reproductive organs are made up of several key structures such as the ovaries, uterus, vagina, and vulva. These organs are involved in fertility, conception, pregnancy, and childbirth. [Sources: 15]
The female internal reproductive organs.
The female internal reproductive organs are the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. The internal reproductive tract, including the female reproductive system The female reproductive tract is divided into external genitalia and internal genitalia. The reproductive tract (or reproductive tract) is a lumen. It begins as a passage through the vagina and is divided into two lumens in the uterus. Both of these lumens pass through the fallopian tube and open to the distal end of the abdominal cavity. Finish. [Sources: 9, 16]
The fertilization
If you had intercourse and the man's sperm fertilizes an egg (a process called conception), then your fertilized egg (embryo) will pass through the fallopian tube and be implanted into the uterus. Where the lining of the uterus thickens in response to normal reproductive hormones and continues to develop. [Sources: 1]
In this small amount of sperm, millions of sperm "float" from the vagina through the cervix and uterus to meet the egg in the fallopian tube. When the fetus is mature enough to survive outside the uterus, the cervix expands. As a result and the uterine contraction pushes the baby through the birth canal (vagina). [Sources: 8, 16]

Build-Outs Of Summer: Isla Coffee of Berlin, Germa...
Stiff Bull Herbal Coffee Has H..
Build-Outs Of Summer: Isla Coffee of Berlin, Germany
Build-Outs Of Summer, Germany, Places, Staff Picks
"Zero waste" cafes are all the rage right now, and Berlin remains one of the hottest coffee cities in the world. Put the two together and you've got Isla Coffee, where "specialty coffee and other similar products that are intrinsically linked to sustainability through quality." It's located out near the abandoned Templehof airport, currently enjoying a second life as an Instagram darling.
As told to Sprudge by Peter Duran of Isla Coffee.
For those who aren't familiar, will you tell us about your company?
Isla is the first instance of a humble, yet innovative approach to harmonious gastronomy in Berlin. It is our goal to:
Implement a model in which a "no-waste" cafe is realized. This will be an ongoing experiment, using systems design and other methods to measure inputs and outputs, and tweak the "system" in our cafe to be as efficient as possible.
Give employees the freedom to pursue their goals, develop the skills to achieve them and support them in this.
Showcase products that are truly sustainable and we feel have real market potential, yet haven't been given proper attention.
Bring customers closer to be environmentally "positive," instead of a burden, though great service, delicious products and an inviting environment, in which we engage instead of preach.
We are convinced that if specialty coffee and other similar products that are intrinsically linked to sustainability through quality are able to break out of the niche they currently find themselves in, there is real potential to upscale the positive impacts of these products, which will lead to more positive outcomes for all of those involved.
Can you tell us a bit about the new space?
At the moment, the space is currently a vegan cafe. However, the previous owner was limited in terms of funding and went into business right away to get some cash flowing. As such, the place came together in a bit of an improvised fashion. Since the handover is taking place relatively quickly, a lot of work will be left to us. We'll have to completely redo the floors, a new counter and work space, and move the kitchen from the front to the back of the house. Most importantly we've got to make the space as warm and inviting as possible, since it's quite dark right now—this is even more of a priority since we're located on a very busy, loud street and we want to give our guests a respite from the chaos. So, two colleagues of ours that are former stage light technicians are helping us breathe some new life into the place. We've got a great terrace in the back that gets the afternoon sun once it's disappeared from the front—Berliners chase the almighty, not-so-ever-present sun. We're located in a very mixed area right next to the former Templehof airport, populated by young foreigners like myself, a sizeable Turkish and Arab community, alongside longtime Berlin residents.
What's your approach to coffee?
Our approach to coffee is the same as that towards every other product in the cafe. We serve seasonal products, that we find tasty and that are traceable—regionality and organic are also priorities, but are sometimes difficult to combine with one another. We do our best. We'll serve espresso and filter from different roasters at the beginning and once my partner is up and running with his roastery, we'll buy directly from him. We're also going to have amazing draft coffee from Brewbox Berlin and some tasty cold brew from Good Spirits Beverages.
Any machines, coffees, special equipment lined up?
Our local distributor has been nice enough to set us up with the new La Marzocco Linea PB with the Auto Brew Ratio technology and a PEAK grinder from Mahlkönig. I think these two pieces of equipment will not only help us make more tasty coffee, but also achieve more consistency, which will in the end lead us to wasting less coffee. Another thing I'm really excited about is our water filter. It's a proprietary technology made by a friend of ours, Cory Andreen. He's really switched on to the problems with typical water filtration solutions and has come up with a great unit that does the job better.
What's your hopeful target opening date/month?

If you like the outdoors, this is the perfect way to spend your last unmarried moments.
Whether your squad is East Coast, West Coast, or scattered across the country, nothing brings the girls together like adventurous activities, gorgeous surroundings, and a sense of remoteness. What better way to inspire those vibes than to plan a destination bachelorette party at a luxe glamping retreat? Not everyone is a party girl, and if the thought of popping bottles in a club or attending a music-filled pool party is enough to have you skipping the bachelorette tradition entirely, know that a glamping getaway is a chic, relaxing, and unique alternative. After a day in the outdoors, hiking, biking, fishing, paddle boarding, and more, you'll find no better place to unwind and catch up than while seated around a campfire at night, s'mores, and delicious cocktail in-hand.
If not all of your bridesmaids are nature-inclined, don't worry. We've rounded up the top lodges and campsites that offer every kind of amenities—private tented suites, heated floors, air-conditioning, full bathrooms, fireplaces, and butler service, to name a few—guaranteed to keep even the most die-hard city dweller comfortable and happy. Though, really, no one would ever dare complain on your bachelorette, right?
Want to fully embrace nature? Head to Big Sur, California, and spend the night in (ultra-luxurious) safari-style tents surrounded by towering redwoods. Prefer your glamping with a side of wine? You'll find two great stays that offer easy access to plenty of vino. The only question left is to decide if you'd prefer to visit California's Sonoma or Mendocino County. There's luxe camping options on the East Coast, too. You probably won't believe it, but there's a glamping option just minutes from the heart of New York City.
If you're sold on the idea of a glamping bachelorette weekend, click through here to see some of our favorites.
Montana's Big Sky country is filled with classic western-style dude ranches, but this one tops them all. It's set on 60 square miles of untamed wilderness and has everything from a spa village (get a massage in a tipis) to a wilderness outpost (plan all your adventure activities in one place) and a 29,000-square-foot equestrian center (the largest in the state). The seasonal glamping accommodations are set within individual campsites, allowing you and your girls to take over an entire section of the resort, complete with its own staff, dining pavilion, fire pit, and more. Push one another to new heights on the aerial ropes course, zip around at top speed on a thrill-seeking ATV tour, learn to be real cowgirls on a traditional cattle drive, or plan a leisurely, scenic hot-air balloon ride—the options for once-in-a-lifetime memories are endless, and right at your fingertips.
If you're worried your girls can't do a little nature without a lot of wine, try this luxury glamping spot in the heart of Sonoma County, just 90 minutes outside San Francisco. Take your pick among specially designed Airstream trailers, luxury canvas tents, and handcrafted Shelton Huts, surrounded by a grove of native redwood trees. No one will miss a wink of shut-eye: Guests sleep on Casper memory foam beds topped with down comforters. Start the day exploring nearby hiking trails, go kayaking on the Russian River, take a leisurely bike ride to downtown Guerneville—or just hang by the campsite to roast s'mores and sip many a local vintage.
This Central Virginia retreat is like its own adventure park: There are more than 20 zip lines, a 60-stop obstacle course, mountain biking trails, and paddle-boarding areas on the Appomattox River and Sandy River Reservoir. If your squad prefers the insulated indoors, bunk up in a quaint log cabin or a three-bedroom cottage (one's called Meadowview, the other, Eagle's Nest). Those who want an Insta-worthy accommodation, however, should book one of the three glamping tipis: Each is equipped with two queen beds, luxury linens, radiant-heated floors, air-conditioning, a full bathroom, and a kitchenette. After a day of adventure, sit down for a farm-fresh meal, served with seasonal vegetables from the garden and eggs from the hen house.
This 37-acre retreat, set on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, is one of the most extensive glamping sites around. There are 60 safari-style rooms, some outfitted with bunk beds, others with king beds (just in case you need a little space from the girls). No one will complain about going without—all of the tents have comfy mattresses, down comforters, wool blankets, crisp cotton linens, heating pads, lanterns, and more. Groups can pick-and-choose activities and plan special events as they desire: Want a morning yoga class? Done. Guided hike or sea cave kayaking excursion? No problem. Delicious meal served by a local food truck? Easy. And if you decide to explore off-campus, Mendocino County is home to countless brewing companies and wineries.
You'll never feel more at home among the great outdoors than at this 1800s-era cattle ranch turned luxury retreat. Much of the land is still used for protected free-range cattle grazing, so expect to feel like proper cowgirls as you scoot around on wildflower-covered valleys and hillsides and sleep in an eight-tent camp, complete with soaking tubs, en-suite bathrooms, and gas fireplaces. All of your meals will be prepared by the chef and served in the original farmhouse; local and regional ingredients (some from the ranch's own farm and vineyard) are used to create a new menu each day. But the best dishes are served with a side of wilderness: Request a picnic lunch or sundowner after your group fishing trip, hike, or horseback ride—a half-day guided activity is offered complimentary for guests.
For those brides who want to glamp but are nervous about missing the metropolitan creature comforts, good news: you can plan the perfect combo bachelorette in New York City. After SoulCycle, brunch, and a night out on the town's hottest bars, you can rise early (okay, sleep 'til noon) and head to Governor's Island, just a few minutes by ferry from Lower Manhattan. The seasonal island, which hosts free concerts, art programs, cultural events, and more, is now home to a Collective Retreats glamping resort. The 100-person outpost debuted last month, offering the first ever overnight accommodations on Governor's. You can expect full hotel-style service and locally sourced meals. Once all the crowds disperse, it'll be just you guys seated around the campfire, with the city so close—and yet so far.
If your squad threw any shade your way upon presenting the idea of a glamping bachelorette, then this wilderness-inspired hotel in downtown Memphis is your solution. It substitutes tents for a 32-story pyramid-shaped lodge, with all the trappings necessary to bring the outdoors inside. For example, the 103 rooms have the rustic style of a traditional log cabin (fireplaces and screened-in porches) but with luxury hotel amenities (pillow-top mattresses, room service). Technically, you don't even have to go outside to experience the wilderness: There are 100-foot-tall trees, aquariums filled with 36 kinds of fish, and faux wildlife placed all around (including a taxidermized bear and alligator replicas). Though if you can convince your girls to step away from the cozy lobby bar, bike rides along the Mississippi River are unmatched.

Vodafone likely to exit India as losses mount
IANS | 30 Oct 2019 6:03 PM GMT
The telecom regulatory world is abuzz with feverish talk that the imperilled telecom operator, Vodafone, is ready to exit its India operations.
New Delhi: The telecom regulatory world is abuzz with feverish talk that the imperilled telecom operator, Vodafone, is ready to exit its India operations.
An email questionnaire sent to a Vodafone-Idea spokesperson in India was directed to Ben Padovan, Group Head of Corporate Communications, Vodafone Group Plc. There is a buzz in telecom circles that Vodafone is ready to "pack up and leave any day now" as operating losses mount in the joint venture company, Vodafone-Idea, loss of lakhs of subscribers every month and a dwindling market capitalisation which is hurting any fresh fund raising.
On Wednesday, Vodafone-Idea issued a clarification on the claim that Vodafone Idea has approached its lenders for debt recast. "There has been reportage in some media alleging that Vodafone Idea has approached its lenders for debt recast.
We categorically deny and dismiss this as baseless and factually incorrect. We have not made any request for debt recast to any lender or asked for reworking of payment terms. We continue to pay all our debts as and when these fall due," the company said.
The material event for the company has been the recent Supreme Court judgement on AGR under which Vodafone Idea will have to pay around Rs 28,309 crore in three months' time.
Following the sharp fall in shares, Vodafone-Idea has clarified to stock exchanges on October 25 and again on Tuesday, this week, that "SC judgement represents a significant event with respect for the company (sic)".
"We cannot presently comment on the correctness and completeness of the aforesaid figures. The company is studying the judgement and we will evaluate our next steps," it said.
"The Judgement has financial implications, which we are reviewing. We will engage with the DoT in order for it to consider granting relief, including a waiver on interest and penalties." In a media statement on the AGR verdict, the company said, "Vodafone Idea is extremely disappointed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court judgment on the Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) case".
"We will study the ruling as soon as it is available, along with our legal advisers, to determine next steps. If there are technical or procedural grounds for doing so, this could include a Review Application," the company said.
"Clearly this judgment has significantly damaging implications for India's telecom industry, which is already reeling under huge financial stress and is left with only four operators."
"Significant investment of several billion dollars has been made in creating world class networks. Today's order has huge impact on two private operators while most of the other impacted operators have exited the sector. We urgently request that the government engage on this matter in order to find ways to mitigate the financial stress for the industry", the company said.
In another setback, Vodafone-Idea announced last week that in regard to the merger of Indus Towers, in which it holds 11.15 per cent equity, with Bharti Infratel, it has not been possible to meet the conditions, including DoT approval under the FDI regulations before the target date of October 24.
The parties have entered into an agreement to extend the date by two months to December 24. Vodafone Idea will receive a lower cash payment based on the fall in the share price of Bharti Infratel, movements in net debt at Bharti lnfratel and Indus.

As they set out into the working world, RCH President & CEO Spencer Williams counsels the Class of 2016 on the importance of developing good saving habits from the very beginning. Using the phrase 'Strive for 25' – Williams notes that the $25,000 retirement savings threshold is a critical milestone that all graduates should target.
Why $25,000? A study of mobile workforce behaviors conducted by Boston Research Technologies reported that cash-outs are primarily a function of wealth, not income. The study clearly demonstrated that those workers who amassed savings of $25,000 were much less-likely to have cashed out.
Williams further observes that the fastest way for graduates to reach $25,000 in retirement savings is to transfer their 401(k) balances to their new employer plan as they move from job to job, as opposed to cashing out or leaving their accounts behind in previous-employer plans. The practice of consolidation avoids savings-eroding fees, which can take become quite substantial over the course of a 40-year career.
Finally, Williams notes that help may be on the way in the form of auto portability – which can help preserve savings by automatically moving balances forward as workers change jobs.
While this may not be the kind of message typically heard in commencement speeches, it's sound, practical advice that can pay off handsomely for millions of new graduates!

New Dior CEO Delphine Arnault joins her VERY rich pals at her first show
The front row of the Dior Paris Fashion Week show was packed with the rich and the famous on Friday as the new CEO of Dior and billionaire Delphine Arnault joined her wealthy friends to watch the runway presentation, her first since taking over the role.
The fashion guru is the heiress of the world's richest man Bernard Arnault who boasts a £145 billion ($180.2 billion) fortune and is the founder of LVMH. While Delphine has not reached her father's levels of financial freedom she still has a respectable £5 million net worth of her own.
By the businesswoman's side were the likes of David Beckham, who boasts a £363 million net worth, Eddie Redmayne, who has £12 million, and Robert Pattinson, with £80 million.
The £145.5billion FROW! New Dior CEO Delphine Arnault – daughter of the world's richest man Bernard – joined her VERY rich pals at her first show during Paris Fashion Week on Friday (L-R: Hannah Redmayne, Eddie Redmayne, Karlie Kloss, Cruz Beckham, David Beckham, Delphine, Robert Pattinson and Gwendoline Christie)
Delphine, 47, caught the eye in a red jacket and black trousers while sat in between David, also 47, and Eddie, 41.
Looking suave in a brown suit, Eddie cosied up to his publicist wife Hannah, 40, who put on a chic display in a black blazer and jeans, as supermodel Karlie Kloss, 30, cut an elegant figure in a cream blazer suit.
To her right was Cruz Beckham, 17, cutting a chic figure in a grey suit, coordinating with his dad David, while Gwendoline Christie, 44, went for a plaid suit.
Robert – who features in Dior's latest ad campaign – donned a faux fur jacket and navy tweed skirt.
And while she may not have been sat with Delphine and her pals, Naomi Campbell put on a show-stopping display in a grey coat.
Paris Men's fashion week happens every January with luxury brands including Dior, Gucci and Hermes displaying their latest collection.
Delphine, the the new boss of Christian Dior, is hardly a stranger at the French luxury fashion house she will now run.

Couple: Looking suave in a brown suit, Eddie, 41, cosied up to his publicist wife Hannah, 40, who put on a chic display in a black blazer and jeans while Karlie Kloss, 30, cut an elegant figure in a cream blazer suit
For the heiress, whose promotion was announced last week, just happens to be the daughter of the owner.
Bernard Arnault is the world's richest man, with a £147billion fortune. He is the co-founder and chairman of the LVMH conglomerate that owns the Louis Vuitton, Moet and Hennessy brands as well as Dior.
Mr Arnault has appointed Delphine, oldest of his five children, as his heiress, tightening the family's grip on the £345billion luxury goods empire.
Stylish: Robert (centre) – who features in Dior's latest ad campaign – donned a faux fur jacket and navy tweed skirt

Star-studded: Paris Men's fashion week happens every January with luxury brands including Dior, Gucci and Hermes displaying their latest collection (L-R: Hannah, Gwendoline, Eddie and Naomi)
A-list: Hannah, Gwendoline, Eddie and Naomi put their best fashion feet forward
However, the man nicknamed 'the wolf in cashmere' for his ruthless approach has signalled he has no intention of standing down soon – the group recently raised its age limit for chief executives from 75 to 80.
All his children have major roles at the firm's brands.
Mother-of-two Ms Arnault, who begins her new role on February 1, has been executive vice-president of Louis Vuitton since 2013 and was previously Dior's managing director.
A highly-respected, serious, and extremely hard-working businesswoman, Delphine has degrees from graduated from EDHEC Business School in Lille and the London School of Economics, where she was head of student organisations.
She grew up mostly in Lille, but spent three years in the US when her family moved to New York.
She received her first Louis Vuitton bag, a brown Noe handbag, for her 18th birthday.
Her career began in the late 1990s at consultancy firm McKinsey, where she worked for two years, and she moved to Dior in 2000.
She previously told how the fashion world was a natural fit for her, telling W magazine: 'I'm lucky that it's about fashion and perfume and cosmetics.
'If my father had owned a tire company, I don't know what I would have done.'
She was credited with keeping the brand afloat in 2011 following widely publicised revelations of an anti-Semitic outburst in Paris by its British creative director John Galliano that led to his sacking.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Ms Arnault described her managerial style as 'quite calm'.
But she added: 'I'm very competitive. At everything. I like competition, it's fun.'
And in 2014, she set up the prestigious LVMH young fashion designer award.
According to a W magazine profile of the businesswoman, it can be 'hard to know what she is thinking' but she is 'courteous and pleasant.'
Meanwhile she is exceptionally low-key about her private life, rarely giving interviews and when she does so, often avoiding personal topic.
Her first marriage came in 2005, when she tied the knot with Alessandro Vallarino Gancia, heir to an Italian wine dynasty.
Smart: Cruz, 17, opted for a more casual look with an oversized grey blazer and trousers which he teamed with a scruffy white shirt
Smart: Eddie ensured to look suave with his get-up
Pals: Eddie (right) made friends with Robert (left) at the event
Happy: The beaming actors appeared to be in high spirits
Delighted: Hannah, Gwendoline and Eddie (L-R) looked delighted to be there
Her wedding was a significant event for the French elite and was named by Harper's Bazaar magazine as the wedding of the year.
She wore a gown designed for her by Galliano which took 1,300 hours to make.
The couple divorced five years later and she is now in a relationship with French billionaire Xavier Niel.
Xavier, who is almost a decade older than his partner, is the co-owner of Le Monde newspaper and the 21st richest person in France with an estimated fortune of €8 billion.
Arrivals: Father and son appeared in high spirits as they arrived at the show
Specs: Cruz also donned quirky shades as he hit the red carpet with dad David
Front row: The duo posed for photos before taking their seat in the star-studded front row
Out and about: While she wasn't spotted in the front row, David and Cruz then headed off to meet chic Victoria as they enjoyed the French city
In 2013 he spent £41million on a free coding school in Paris as well as nearly £250million on Station F, the world's largest start-up laboratory that houses 1,000 start-up companies.
And in 2020, he admitted he was a teenage spy who hacked the mobile phone of President Mitterrand.
He is described by many as 'the French Steve Jobs'.
Ms Arnault, said to be a very private person who dislikes media intrusion, gave birth to her daughter Elisa in August 2012 and her son Joseph in September 2016.
Supermodel: Karlie Kloss looked nothing short of sensational in a white suit for the Dior show
Chic: Karlie (right) pictured with new Dior boss Delphine
Impressive: Her father Bernard is the co-founder and chairman of the LVMH conglomerate that owns the Louis Vuitton, Moet and Hennessy brands as well as Dior (L-R) Sidney Toledano, Delphine Arnault and Karlie Kloss
She told FashionNetwork that she tries her best to balance her career with motherhood: 'Whenever I have free time, I spend a lot of time with my family. It's that simple, that essential.'
While previously explaining to the FT: 'I'm quite discreet. I think I'd rather focus on my work. So, I only speak when I have something to say. 'Live hidden, and live happy'.'
The heiress is also said to enjoy a close relationship with her father and is a talented pianist, having played between the age of five and 20.
Goth girl: Courtney Love looked chic in a black gown which she teamed with lace opera gloves
Hello! Kate Moss' beau Count Nikolai Von Bismarck also enjoyed the show
Arrivals: Actor George MacKay (left) looked dapper alongside influencer Rahi Chadda (right)
Great seats: While David and Cruz sat patiently as they waited for the show to begin
Suited and booted: GOT's Gwendoline looked gorgeous in a plaid suit and blew kisses as she arrived
Meanwhile she has a passion for art, and has quietly assembling her own collection.
She told FashionNetwork.com that she appreciated being born into Arnault family, adding: 'I have a great opportunity to work for this group. It's very exciting.
'I began my career first with Dior, where I worked for 12 years beside Sidney Toledano. Now I work chez Vuitton.
'I think that I am very lucky to have known this universe from a very young age and that my father has trusted me so much.'
And while Arnault keeps a low profile on social media, her siblings are active on Instagram, offering a glimpse into the family's luxurious lifestyle.

Delphine and her father have regularly been pictured with the likes of Rihanna, whose company Fenty was founded under the LVMH umbrella, and Paul McCartney.
The family have a host of celebrity friends; tennis fanatic Bernard and his sons are often pictured training with Roger Federer and other snaps show them mixing with Karl Lagerfeld, Anna Wintour and Pharrell Williams.
As would be expected, the jetset family has a large property portfolio and divides their time between a number of the world's most exclusive neighbourhoods.
Her father's Arnault's primary Paris residence, a 17th century mansion, is filled with some of the world's finest art, according to Bloomberg, including works by Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, and Pablo Picasso.
He also owns two chateaus in France and another mansion in Saint-Tropez.
In 2000, Arnault purchased Nyn Park, a large estate about 30km north of London and built a 4,300 square metre home.
He also purchased an island of 54 hectares in the Bahamas, with a price tag of $35 million, a Brussels apartment and over 25 wineries around the world.
Delphine Arnault, daughter of Christian Dior owner Bernard Arnault, is the new boss of the French luxury fashion house
Announcing Ms Arnault's promotion yesterday, her father, who founded what is now LVMH in 1987 and overtook Elon Musk last year to become the world's richest man, said: 'Under her leadership, the desirability of Louis Vuitton products advanced significantly, enabling the brand to regularly set new sales records.
'Her keen insights and incomparable experience will be decisive assets in driving the ongoing development of Christian Dior.'
Ms Arnault is also a member of the board of directors of LVMH and of its executive committee.
Ms Arnault (pictured with her father in 1992) was credited with keeping the brand afloat in 2011 following widely publicised revelations of an anti-Semitic outburst in Paris by its British creative director John Galliano that led to his sacking
LVMH has another connection to a fashion boss with a mega-rich father – Sir Paul McCartney's daughter Stella. The designer has collaborated with the brand on luxury fashion and a skincare range.
Leaders passing the baton to family members is not uncommon.
Last year Marta Ortega Perez took over from her father Amancio Ortega, Spain's richest man, as chairman of the world's biggest fashion group Inditex, which owns Zara, Massimo Dutti, Pull & Bear and Stradivarius. She started aged 22 as a sales associate at Zara on the King's Road in London.
Mike Ashley's Frasers Group, which includes Sports Direct and House of Fraser, installed his son-in-law Michael Murray as chief executive last May.
Mr Arnault has appointed Delphine, (pictured, with Rhianna) oldest of his five children, as his heiress apparent as he tightens the family's grip on the £345billion luxury goods empire

Capito, Manchin announce $6M for health services
Capito said she has always supported investing in medical research and treatment
WASHINGTON (WDVM) — United States Senators Shelley Moore Capito and Joe Manchin of West Virginia announced major funding that will support health services.
According to Capito, $6,145,690 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will be put towards alcohol research efforts at West Virginia University. In addition, the money will also fund mental health support services.
"It may seem like research into alcoholism has taken a backseat in light of the opioid epidemic. However, I'm proud to know WVU continues their important work into a disease that continues to affect families every day. This funding will help support their efforts and help provide additional mental health services for West Virginians across the state. By approaching those struggling with substance abuse in a way that prioritizes their mental health, we're seeing greater rates of success and cleaner communities," Capito said.
In a press release, Capito said she has always supported investing in medical research and treatment. This funding announcement comes days before the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a Homeland Security bill she is in support of. This bill would promote national security across the nation, according to Capito.

Ethelyn Brye – October 25, 2019
Although it would be pedantically incorrect to state that a decision to ban tyre blankets in 2021 has been overturned – the regulations have not been finalised, so no such final decision could yet be taken either way – it nonetheless seems likely Formula 1 will continue to race on pre-heated rubber when it switches…

@Bill Gates I'll try to keep this in a matter of fact manner, as otherwise the fanboy horde will again accuse me of trolling. > i dont see any problem here. The problem is that, in Firefox, privacy is opt-in while the anti-features are opt-out. Very few people change the default settings, therefore defaults matter. Firefox is being advertised as privacy-respecting, it is deserving of criticism when it isn't privacy-respecting at all out of the box. > also currently Tor (a modified version of Firefox) is the most private browser out there in the market. I hear that often enough. The truth is that the team behind Tor has to heavily(!) modify Firefox and its settings in order to make it into the Tor browser (and you can't replicate that in Firefox anyway, as you lack the Tor network). The Tor browser being very private has nothing to do with Firefox's privacy level. It just means that Firefox can be mofified into something privacy-respecting, and this I don't deny. I say that its defaults are bad. > you bashing firefox about privacy and using chromium is just weird for me. Why? Some Chromium-based browsers have a better privacy level than Firefox out of the box, notably Ungoogled Chromium, Brave, Bromite. > there is no way you can achieve same level privacy with a chromium based browser. You can achieve a very good privacy level with a Chromium-based browser. It really depends on your choice of browser, your settings, and your extensions. And let me tell you something about the great majority of Firefox's privacy settings: If you really do enable those, then websites will break inevitably. There are very few privacy settings you can actually set without repercussions, or loss of usability of some sort. > firefox has web-content isolation (fission.autostart) Chromium had that even before Firefox: https://www.ghacks.net/2017/12/08/how-to-enable-strict-site-isolation-mode-in-google-chrome/ > site isolation (privacy.firstparty.isolate) This shit breaks lots and lots of websites and is disabled by default for a reason. For example, many credit card websites and websites using OAuth break with it. One of the settings you can't safely enable without impairing functionality, at least most people can't. > antifingerprinting (privacy.resistFingerprinting) You are the least "fingerprintable" if you blend in: Windows 10 Home, default settings Google Chrome, default settings Popular GPU Popular CPU 8 GB RAM Widely used battery capacity 1920×1080 screen resolution There, a fingerprint that will blend in perfectly. Hard to detect. What, you want extensions in your browser? My bad, that will make you fingerprintable, I'm terribly sorry. What I am trying to say is, unless you are the most mainstream guy out of the mainstream, you will be detectable. And no, Firefox does not prevent this. If you have two extensions or so installed and if you have changed some settings, you are already doomed to having a fairly unique fingerprint. Privacy and anonymity are not synonymous in every single case, if you want the latter, blend in, if you want the former, you will no longer

The UAE needs to introduce more regulation to increase the stability of its Islamic finance industry, according to the IMF's annual report on the country.
It must "tailor [its] regulatory and supervisory frameworks to adequately address Islamic banks' specific risks", said the IMF. That means introducing new rules to govern profit-sharing investment accounts and Sharia governance.
The UAE must also continue to develop new Sharia-compliant liquidity management tools for banks, said the IMF.
Islamic assets presently account for 17 per cent of assets and 19 per cent of bank deposits in the UAE, according to the IMF.
The UAE's Central Bank needs to act as a lender of last resort to the country's Sharia-compliant lenders, said Jaseem Ahmed, the secretary general of the Islamic Financial Services Board, an independent international institution.
The Islamic finance sector was "systemically important" in the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Yemen because Sharia-compliant assets account for more than 15 per cent of total banking system assets in these countries. he said.
The UAE government plans to introduce a unified Sharia authority to act as the country's ultimate arbiter of jurisprudence on Islamic finance.
The authority will be set up by the end of September, according to Khalid Al Janahi, an adviser to the government-backed Dubai Islamic Economy Development Centre. The centre oversees the emirate's efforts to transform itself into a centre for Sharia-compliant finance, goods and services.
The next step is for the UAE government to address legal enforcement of contracts governing Sharia-compliant financial products, according to Sayd Farook, who also advises the Dubai Islamic Economy Development Centre, and a former head of Islamic capital markets at Thomson Reuters.
"Who is the ultimate arbiter of the Islamic interpretation of contracts? When parties go to court, who arbitrates whether a contract is Sharia-compliant or not?" said Mr Farook.
"Islamic jurisprudence is an art, and the interpretations are not always uniform," he said.
When the property developer Nakheel almost defaulted on its US$4 billion sukuk in 2009 when it was owned by Dubai World, the legal difficulties the crisis created were major, said Omar Salah, a senior associate at the De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek law firm, in a paper published when he was a doctoral candidate at Tilburg Law School.
Nakheel had sold assets to a special purpose vehicle, but under Dubai law, creditors had no rights to the assets held by it. The crisis was ultimately resolved, but the lesson stood that the UAE's legal system did not address key areas of contract law regarding Islamic finance, according to Mr Salah's paper.
Clarity in dispute resolution over Sharia-compliant assets "is an area where all countries are suffering", Mr Farook said.
