LinkedIn adds new job filters to find remote work

Professional networking platform LinkedIn is introducing dedicated remote, hybrid and on-site search filters to help users on their next job hunt.

Users will see the labels when using the social network’s job search and Open to Work features, Engadget reported.

In the latter case, taking advantage of the filters will privately inform recruiters of the type of work you are looking for, which the company said should help the right job find you.

At the same time, the professional networking platform is adding similar filters for company pages, allowing them to indicate things like their vaccine policies and return-to-office plans, the report said.

In testing the filters, LinkedIn said it saw more than 70 per cent of searches involve people looking for remote-only roles.

It’s a testament to how uncertain the pandemic has made every return-to-office plan.

Even companies Amazon, Google and Facebook have struggled to find ones that stick. And so it’s no surprise most LinkedIn users are looking for opportunities where they can continue working from home, as per the report.

Kareena posts pic of toddler Jeh trying out ‘yoga’ in Jaisalmer

Bollywood couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are chilling out in Jaisalmer, and the doting mother on Thursday posted an adorable picture of her younger son, Jeh, doing what looks like the yogic ‘mountain pose’ (‘tadasana’), also knowns as the ‘pike position’.

Earlier on Wednesday, Kareena had posted a selfie in sportswear on Twitter. It shows her doing workouts and carries the caption ‘Desert Run’.

Her posterior-view picture of a playful eight-month-old Jeh, who was some time back the target of vicious trolling, is captioned: “Downward Dog [emojis showing appreciation] Yoga runs in the family you see [emojis] #8 months Pike position #Mera Beta [heart emoji].” Kareena’s sister, Karisma Kapoor, reacted lovingly with the words: “Our ‘jaan’ (life).”

The KTR-led delegation reached Paris on Wednesday. The Minister will address the ‘Ambition India Business Forum’ to be held on Friday, at the French Senate in Paris.

TN to open spillways of Mullaperiyar dam

TN to open spillways of Mullaperiyar dam

The Tamil Nadu government, which manages the Mullaperiyar dam although it is geographically in Kerala’s Idukki district, will open the spillways at 7 a.m. on Friday.

The Tamil Nadu Water Resources Department has already communicated the same to the Kerala government on Wednesday night as an evacuation in Idukki district is required for the opening of the spillways.

Kerala Water Resources Minister Roshy Augustine had earlier requested the Tamil Nadu government to inform the state well in advance so that the evacuation process is smooth.

The spillways of the dam are to be opened following incessant rains in the catchment areas of Mullaperiyar.

The water level in the dam crossed 137.80 ft at 9 p.m. on Wednesday. The maximum water level in the dam set up by the Central Water Commission (CWC) is 138 ft and the water level is all set to cross this rule curve by Thursday morning.

Tamil Nadu has been drawing 2,300 cusecs of water from the dam and the inflow was 5,800 cusecs on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Kerala has expressed its dissent in Supreme Court on Wednesday after the Mullaperiyar dam supervisory committee had submitted that that there was no need to change the 142 ft water height in the dam which was set by the apex court.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday night wrote a letter to his Kerala counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan stating that his state was monitoring the situation of the Mullaperiyar dam and the water flow into it.

Stalin also mentioned that officials of both Kerala and Tamil Nadu are in constant touch with each other and that the situation was under control.

He added that the state was pumping out maximum water from the Mullaperiyar dam through the Vaigai tunnel into Tamil Nadu.

Stalin was responding to a letter sent by the Kerala Chief Minister on Monday that the water level in Mullaperiyar was rising rapidly and requested the Tamil Nadu side to take maximum water through the Vaigai tunnel for the state.

The Mullaperiyar dam constructed in 1895 by British Engineer John Pennycuck is under major discussion between the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

While the Kerala side wants to construct a new dam by deactivating the present one, there were several objections from the Tamil Nadu side.

The UN Research University had recently in a report said that Mullaperiyar dam had outlived its life span and that like several dams that are above 50 years of age, it was also in danger.

The Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu and Kerala along with the water resources ministers of the respective states are slated to meet in Chennai in December regarding the future course of action on Mullaperiyar.

Kim Jong-un loses 20 kg, has no health issues: Seoul spy agency

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has lost around 20 kg after previously weighing about 140 kg, but he appears to have no health issues, South Korea’s spy agency said on Thursday.

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) gave the briefing during a closed-door parliamentary session, rejecting rumours that the communist regime was using a stand-in for Kim during recent public appearances, Rep. Kim Byung-kee of the ruling Democratic Party told reporters.

The NIS made the assessment after conducting a detailed study of the North Korean leader’s health using artificial intelligence and other scientific methods, Yonhap News Agency quoted the lawmaker as saying.

Kim’s health has been a frequent subject of speculation due to the political implications in the event that he is unable to perform his duties.

No known successor has been appointed.

The NIS also reported North Korea could have reprocessed spent nuclear fuel rods at its main nuclear complex in Yongbyon from February to July.

By reprocessing spent fuel rods, the North can harvest weapons-grade plutonium.

Kim has also removed portraits of his father and grandfather, former leaders Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung, from the backdrop of official meetings, the agency said.

T20 World Cup: Injured Starc in doubt for Sri Lanka match

Australia pacer Mitchell Starc is doubtful for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup clash with Sri Lanka on Thursday after suffering a leg injury during training. The Australian team management is closely monitoring his condition after he appeared limping and in pain during the nets on Wednesday evening, according to reports in the Australian media.

Starc, one of the world’s top white-ball bowlers, was seen limping and apparently in pain at a nets session at the ICC Academy here on Wednesday evening.

The left-arm pacer was hit just above the right knee while bowling during a net session on Tuesday evening and appeared to be in obvious discomfort.
Though Starc trained and bowled on Wednesday with a compression sleeve on his right leg, he was escorted out of the nets by medical staff before hobbling away for more treatment, appearing in serious discomfort, according to one of the reports.

While the Australian team management is yet to inform officially about his injury and diagnosis, Starc could miss Thursday’s clash against Sri Lanka.

In case Starc is not available, Ashton Agar is likely to come in the playing XI as a replacement.

Starc claimed 2/32 off four overs i’ Australia’s win against South Africa.
